What is Soundsnap?

Soundsnap is the best platform to find and share free sound effects and loops- legally. It is a collection of original sounds made or recorded by its users, and not songs or sound FX found on commercial libraries or sample CD's.

It was originally started by a small group of sound people from all over the world. Our common belief is that sounds and samples should be free for everyone to use in their projects, commercial or not.

Our users are a diverse mix of sound designers, sound artists, web game developers, filmmakers and music producers. Hobbyists and home video makers are welcome too.

What Soundsnap is NOT:

  • An alternative to Myspace, Limewire or BitTorrent.
  • A place to upload your band's songs or your favourite mp3's. Soundsnap is only for sound effects and loops.
  • A place you can upload or find sounds from commercial libraries. All sounds here are original- made or recorded by its users.

We encourage everyone to upload high quality sound FX and samples, helping us make every kind of sound available on Soundsnap.

We are looking for feedback from the community to constantly improve, and we depend on our users for that. So please feel free to leave a recommendation or feedback in the special section of our forum.

I hope you enjoy your time here and Happy Snapping!

Loving the site!
One thing I feel is missing is when you are in a thread, there is no display at the top showing which one you are in - for example the one you are in now would display -
FORUMS ---> FEEDBACK, FEATURE REQUESTS AND BUGS ----> EXTRA FORUM DISPLAY

So you could click on the middle "feedback" link to take you back to the root of that section.

I know its early days but I just thought I would throw it out there. I hope it makes sense ! Its just a minor observation that most forum systems seem to have.

You are totally right

You are totally right Reeouch,

We 'll make that in the future for sure.

However, we had to leave certain things out, in order to get the site going.
We are planning to improve a lot and I 'm putting that on my list (literally). :-)

Speak soon,

Tasos
