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!

This Forum should not be abused for commercial advertising - just my 2 Eurocents...

Hi Simon, I agree with you

Hi Simon,

I agree with you in general. We don't want the forum to get out of hand.
But on the other hand, most users have their (sometimes commercial) websites as a signature. We would have to ban url's and I think thats extreme.

Taking into account the self-promotional style of this specific forum, I don't mind Contractor's email. It seems quite genuine and they have also posted on another forum already. So they are innocent in my view- until proved guilty :-)

If we see that people regularly do that on purpose we might change our position on commercial applications.

Thanks for your input SImon. I would like to hear what other people think about this issue and get more opinions.
