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!

I'm a relic from the days of reel-to-reel sound recording and editing with a razor blade, a chinagraph pencil, a jointing block and a Revox tape recorder. Back in those days there were only half a dozen SFX records on the market - and they were awful!
Storage devices were coat hangers around the sound booth where we'd hang loops of tape.
Things have changed. Now I have a Zoom H4! And Soundsnap!
So if anyone needs a clip of kangaroos skipping down the high street or Aussie crowd reaction to the Aussie swim team thrashing the Americans (and the Dutch - of course) in the Bejing Oympics - I'm ready!
I'm now into filmmaking with my first official film (a doco) currently in post production. I'm looking to use Soundsnap to hook up with other creatives.
