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!

I only could use one effect from Soundsnap (tried more sound effects, but in this case less was more). All visuals, light effects and music are by me.

Only the title and shortly after it that has sound effects. but the one I used from here is pretty central to setting the mood for the after-title intro text.

I had to edit it to stay in key with slowly rising music, but it's IN there.

--- Video Title: "Middle East Truth"

I have a page with the vid on it (on my site's server), but you can also see it
featured at the top of my recently created MySpace page.

BTW, all artwork at that MySpace is also by me -- some of it frame shots from in-progress film effects drafts.

I'm all self-taught, living only on disability income (can't afford commercial libraries or even DVDs or music CDs), so it's all going to take time and patience.

But it's happening, one day at a time.

So thanks, Soundsnap, for this file and all the others I have and will continue to squirrel away for another day!.

It really helps :)
