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 gang!
I'm a brand new member and am ready to download, but I don't know how.The faq section says we must have "sound results" on our page. What does that mean? Is it a feature I just click on? please help.

Thanks.

Hi Grossone, Welcome. In

Hi Grossone,

Welcome.

In order to download, search for a sound by using the search bar at the top of the page.

As soon as you get your results at the center of the screen, you can click on the icon that says 'mp3', 'wav' or 'aif'. Click on that and it should download automatically. If it doesnt, then right-click on it and select 'save target as' and select a location on your hard drive.

Hope this helps.

yes that worked just fine! Thanks . I thought "sound results" was some necessary item that I could not find.
