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!

how do I explain. I am looking for and wanting sounds used in games and animes, those slice hits, pings, dings.
one sound i want i can try to write out is a "kuh-kpssspphhrrrrttttttttt" not a pssshhhhhht or a can of soda opening (maybe that will work?) You know, when a character gets hit by a sword or something.
and maybe other 'animation' 'event sounds' (i am new to this thing so I don't know)

like if someone is love struck or excited/hopefully, and if there are hearts or star sparkles flying around.
I would like something that -represents that-
I have no clue how to generate these nor is my vocal mimicry abilities that good.
please bear with me in trying to understand.

sounds that represent feelings actions and such. there should be more of those.
fluttering eyelashes, i can't find that sound a cartoon would use (for free, I suspect it is on a 600 dollar sound library CD)

Inever thought I would find my self listening to dog barking sounds on the internet
