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 Soundsnappers,

I wanted to let you know that we have been doing a lot of work behind the scenes to make Soundsnap faster. We have made database queries more efficient and cached many things to minimize loads on the server.

We made these changes about a week ago, and our coder reported that pages load 5 to 10 times faster...!

THX for the idea, support

THX for the idea, support and service, the site-design is very userfriendly!
could you sometimes calculate the aprox. filesize and first/last - up/download-timestamp for the samples?
would be so nice!
our and YOUR effort will be honored.
someday you earn all and you will get a big, big villa by the nil, or any other river you prefer ...
