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 soundsnapper!

I just finished a machinima trailer of my main project (3D internet project).
I mentioned the creators of the sounds I used, under credits.

Here my questions:

1st - Should I always mention the creator?
2nd - Is there a special way how I should include them?
3rd - Is it possible, that a creator do not want to be mentioned?

Hi Fim, Thanks for wanting

Hi Fim,

Thanks for wanting to credit the creators.

1) You don't 'have to' mention the creator, but it would be nice.
2) I recommend that you say something like 'Sounds provided by monster x, justsoundgirl, sampleconstruct and squid from Soundsnap.com'.
3) I doubt it.

I am wondering the same. In my video game, can I just credit Soundsnap for all my sounds?
