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 people of Sound Snap. I just love the sounds that are on here, if i didnt have work i would listen to them all day :D. Hehe enough with buttering everyone up, i plan on making short vids and uploading them to YouTube and i will need great high quality sound fx and ambient sounds (like the ones on this site ;) because they set the tone of a movie and conveys a message your tryin to send a viewer. Atleast thats what i believe. Anyway i noticed there is a request thingy and I think its bloody brilliant. If i used one of your sound fx dont be surprised if u see your name a few hundred times during the credits! Anyway i think you will see me name alot on here. Keep doing what you do well fellow sound snapers :D
