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, Composing isn't really

Hi,

Composing isn't really my thing, but I've had a small attempt.

As Squid says - it's difficult when you have no specifics on style, instrumentation, tempo etc.

The loop is very basic and only 8 seconds long but might do the trick for you. Very easily editable too, so if it is useable but needs to be longer/shorter/faster/slower etc. let me know.

Haha, sorry.. I'm really

Haha, sorry.. I'm really bad at describing stuff, but something like this I would appreciate. http://sounddogs.com/previews/23/mp3/477390_SOUNDDOGS__el.mp3

It's for a dance mix, and something comedian would entertain the crowd. Thanks. Oh Tif, thanks for the attempt.

Attempt number 2.

Attempt number 2. http://www.soundsnap.com/node/54207

I've taken off the low end to make it sound more like it's being pumped through tinny lift speakers.

Again, only a quick and simple attempt, let me know if i'm on the right lines.
