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!

Ello folks,

Just signed up here as i've been using this site for a month or two now and felt i should help contribute. I'm an English based sound designer, having just finished my degree. I'm now focusing getting more experience in location recordings. I seem to be getting addicted to recording nature sounds too, so if anyones in need of anything specific (Related to Britain :) then let me know and i'll get cracking.

How accurate are the downloaded list by the side of each sound? One of my uploads had been downloaded 4 times within about 10 seconds of being uploaded yesterday! That's pretty crazy if it's accurate.

Anyway - looking forward to getting more sounds up and hope i can help some people out whilst here.

Best,

Chris

Hi Tifstorey, Welcome and

Hi Tifstorey,

Welcome and thanks for contributing!

The download counts are mostly correct. Since many people check the latest uploads, that explains the fast downloading of your sound.

However, there are a few cases of sounds showing tens of thousands of downloads within a day from being uploaded. Thats wrong and its caused by some sort of hacking or leecheing (which will soon be sorted out..!).

Which part of England are you in? I 've lived in London for 5 years, but I adore most places I 've been to (especially the English countryside).

Hi Tasos,

I'm up North in Leeds. Alot of countryside around here which might explain my addiction to recording nature sounds.

Good to know this is a busy site with alot of people downloading. I'll hopefully be adding alot more from my library when i get time.
