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,

just wondering if it would be at all possible to change the amount of sounds you get per search page? it would be really nice to have more sounds on each page instead of the 10 you get now. not sure if that would slow the search down, but I'd find it quite useful.

cheers, =)

We 've thought about this

We 've thought about this John, but its not a high priority in my opinion. We are a bit worried that if most users set it to 25 or 50 results, it could slow down our server. However, a few people have asked for it, so we 'l probably make it in the end.

cool....it's not a massive

cool....it's not a massive problem or anything. just thought it might make the searcher's workflow faster. but the quicker people can get to the sounds to start with, the better. =)

We have limited it to 5

We have limited it to 5 results today because of excessive traffic.

But I will soon switch it back to 10 results, which is much better.
