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 all, I've got links to two of my soundtracks here. Unfortunately they are filehosting websites and not streaming video, but the website claims they keep their uploaded files indefinitely:

Honda Ad Link :

This is a project where I was given a famous Honda Advertisement video clip with no sound or music, and I had to add my own. I recorded every sound effect myself with a hard disc recorder (most of which are uploaded to soundsnap), then edited and placed them all. I then re-did the original music with MIDI tracks and put the whole thing together.

Once Upon a Time in the West link :

In this project I used some of my own recorded sound effects, and some from soundsnap. The main job here was to write and record my own music, which I did.
