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!

Hello hello soundsnaps. I'm Will, and I work with a production called Alrugo. We are releasing the first part of our new episodic webmovie called 'Italian Spiderman' on May 22nd. It will be up on Youtube, Yahoo Movies, Myspace Movies and all sorts of places. I had the great honor of being sound designer, editor and musician for this film. Do check it out if you like to see ridiculous comedy, and I'd love to hear what you think of my sound work. I have to give thanks to Soundsnap, as without it, my machine guns would sound terrible. I can do everything but guns, and guns are the coolest bit!

So, if you like, tune in, drop out and enjoy Italian Spiderman, starting May 22nd.

-Will
