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!

I am here, I am making a 'cinematic reading inexperience' of someone's web comic, and i want to to feel like an un-animated movie, this got me into sounds and sound effects and a new appreciation for the guys who put them in film and cartoons, the people who do foley generated and field work sounds.

Hopefully I can be nice enough to make and record sounds from any way possible and offer them to people, if I am not nice then I'd be one of those people who charge a $3 licance fee to use that wonderful keersplash I had made.

what can I do with the bare minimums and not very expensive equipment? can the casual recorder offer anyting to this sites resources?

also be warned, I am not good at spelling for somereason, even spellcheck does a double take.

Welcome Kaiyodei, Thanks for

Welcome Kaiyodei,

Thanks for offering to help!

Keep in mind that the quality standards are pretty strict- we delete about 40% of sounds uploaded daily! So if your sounds are not recorded with professional techniques and equipment, they most likely won't pass the test.

However, there are a few other ways you can help:

- Tell your colleagues and friends about us: Spread the word!

- Rate sounds and help others find the best sounds with ease.

Thanks and c u around.
