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,

My name is Tim Bright and am I currently living and studying in Melbourne Australia. I have been using sound snap for a while when I have needed all sorts of sound so I thought it was about time to join up.

I am doing my best to capture some interesting stuff around town so if anyone has particular requests let me know.

I am curretnly completing a post grad degree at the Victorian College of the Arts. I am particularly interested in sound design for new media, specifically interactive sound and video / animation / film / ...

Its great that there is this resource for quality free sounds, and i'm glad to be apart of it.

Cheers
Tim

Hi Tim, Great to have you

Hi Tim,

Great to have you onboard.

Are you studying something related to sound?

I just sent you an email too- perhaps you might want to complete your profile so people can know more about the contributor!
