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!

I uploaded a file last night 2:40 in duration (about 40 MB - 44.1/24) and still no preview-file has been made. "The audio stream you requested is not available yet" is all there is to hear when clicking on it. So I was wondering if there is a size-limitation on preview files...

Hi Simon,

I was waiting for it to convert, since it can take a while before they convert. But this was never completed.

yes , you just have to wait

yes , you just have to wait a wile...
i clicked on the latest audio once , the sample was little above 2 minutes , and like in this case - audio stream not available yet...
so every 20 seconds i clicked on it to see if it is available yet, and i've tried that 2-3 times and then decided to wait a wile...
2-3 minutes i think it was the waiting.

Hey Simon,

I'll download the file and do a few tests. Its obviously some glitch with the converter.
I just need our coder to look into this, but he 's really busy with a new 'search within results' function... I 'l let you know soon.

Speak soon,
