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!

There are two meetings (real-life meetings!) being planned for our community in March.

The first one is going to be in Frankfurt at the Musikmesse show. Musikmesse is one of the largest shows in Europe for musical instruments and music technology. The meeting will probably be on the 13th (and/or 14th too).

The second one is going to be in London, probably on Thursday the 20th of March or Friday the 21st.

If you live close to Frankfurt or London, come meet with us. More details about exact time and place of meetings will follow soon.

Let me know if you want to join us.

Initially, I was thinking of meeting at a bar. But Battersea is pretty central and I suppose we can bring some cold beer over there! Lets see what happens- thanks for offering dude!
