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!

Okay, so everyone puts dog barks out there. For this project I'm working on, I need a dog running up (claw sounds) and maybe a jingling tag now and then. For the life of me, I cannot find these sounds.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Great! Thank you, that's

Great! Thank you, that's awesome! The claw sounds are from one dog, a lab (decent size). And I think concrete would be fine. The dog sort of "gallups" it's not a run and it's not a walk, it's somewhere in between. I think if you could cover it for about 5 or 6 seconds I could edit with that. The tag sound I'm hearing is the jingle that naturally occurs when the dog steps. This one is not that big of a deal if I can't get it. But if you can get it, I think it would be best if it were completely on it's own, and I can sprinkle that in when appropriate.

You're awesome. Thanks.

I'm working on a stereo

I'm working on a stereo sound clip of a dog running from the far left barking, getting to closer perspective and breathing heavily. A human whistle in the far left distance and it running off again.

It's been made up of lots of various clips so it wouldn't sound as good as if Squid recorded it, however - i'll upload it incase either of you need it.

I've included one without a

I've included one without a tag and one with. As mentioned, it's made up of a few different sounds, so if necessary - they can be split.
