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,

Like I stated in "about me" : I'm a (51 year old!) mime artist (see http://www.ibuffoni.com - I'm the one with the grey hairs !), directing my own plays, and in the future hoping to direct other visual plays. So, I'm constantly on the look out for good sound bits.
This site immediately appealed to me : lightweight, friendly, open.
And also, I immediately found a sound that I needed for my new play, so thanks !
I don't think though that I'll be able to upload a lot of sounds... I'm more a consumer, I'm afraid !
Anyway, keep up the good work !
Erwin
