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 Condra,

Have a look at the sidebar, under the 'Latest Audio' block on most pages.

Hi HardPCM,

This is a totally random selection made by our system everytime you refrsh a page. I think its a nice way to discover nice sounds accidentally.

Forgive me, but I didn't really understand your question above.

HardPCM , you mean if you

HardPCM , you mean if you stay on one page long enough , the random sounds that are currently in that section , become replaced by some other random sounds,after 20 seconds,for instance?
like on Youtube ,when the video is played to the end ,tiny little icons of videos with similar tags appear ,and if you don't point the cursor over them , they will be replaced with a set of other videos after 7-8 seconds...
maybe that is what you want ?

But the current feature is just fine ...
