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!

Hi. I'm an old geezer from south east england, heard about this site. Wow. It's fantastic.

I've recently got into DAW (computer studio home set-up) after years of pooh-poohing it as being "not like the old days". How wrong I was. It's just amazing.

I'm adapting my home pc to do the job, I've bought an m-audio soundcard, pre-amp, studio condenser mic - phantom powered, and i've an old yamaha keyboard that is midi, so it's early days yet. My next project is to up my RAM as it's a pathetic 256 MB.

I'm also hoping to record some samples specifically for this site, because I don't want to just leech off others work, I'd really like to contribute.

That's all. Thanks for the site, it's brilliant.
