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!

Dear Community,

I 'm really proud to announce the release of our new design.

First of all, please let me know if you find any bugs or problems, so we can solve them.

Things you will probably notice:

- An improved design with a new menu bar and a new colour pallette.

- New advertising and banner formats. ...Yes, we need to get paid :-)

- AJAX voting that makes voting faster and easier, without a page reload. This should help increase the amount of rating that people do.

- A popup for faster log in.

I hope you guys like it. All feedback is welcome!

Tasos, congrats for the revamp!
A little problem though, the play button/scroll bar seems to have been lost in my browser. I use Camino and when the page is loading you can see the orange play button but once the page is loaded it disappears. any ideas why this might be?
Cheers

Hmmm,

Thats strange. It probably has something to do with the Javascript or Flash.

Can you see the rest of the site properly? For example, does the grey backround of the sounds have rounded corners like before, or square corners?

I installed the latest version of Camino but the problem persists - I can't see the play button. They show up whilst the page is loading but once it finishes they disappear.

It works fine in Safari but I never use Safari...

I 'm not sure if we changed something in regards to the player.

But I promise to research this.
