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!

Hello all! First let me say how great I think this site is. I am part of an Independent film group and when we had to learn sound design this is the place were we found great sounds to work with. So thank you all for your contributions and hard work.

I do have a request. I find myself wishing I had a button that would save choices as I went along. I know most of the time you would download your choices and just use them, however a lot of times I want to save some of my searches, or when I listen to a sound I wish I could click a box that would save them to a page were I could go back and listen before I download them. A place to compare which of the sounds I want to use.

Just a thought, is all. Thanks again and if you want to check out our teaser film please go to: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=Wqz0YtSCetg

Take care,

Hello, I 'm happy you 're

Hello,

I 'm happy you 're finding the site useful. Thanks for the feedback too.

This 'box' or 'cart' has been requested by many. I think its time to start thinking about how we should best implement this.

Until then, you can use the 'favorites' function which is something similar. Just click on the waveform and then 'add to favorites'. From your profile page, you can find your Favorites list.

C u around.
