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 guys,

We are proud to announce the release of a new function for more effective searching.

Try going to any page with sound results, such as a category or tag page.
Under the search bar you will see a 'search within' option.
Click on the box and search again to search only within the current results.

Let me know if you like it.

I wanted to thank the users

I wanted to thank the users that pointed out the need for such a function. Some people, like Keith Handy, had asked how they could search within a specific user or find a set of similar sounds. This functions helps with this a lot.

Anyone else using it?
Do you guys like it?

What a great function this is!!!!
you can narrow your results and get to where you want so much faster.
Big up to Tasos for insisting for this to be developed.
Even though it made the team work overtime it was definately worth the time and energy.
happy snapping within.
