You can use these free sounds in movies, TV shows and commercials, radio spots and commercials, public service announcements. You can earn money by using these sounds in games or apps; on websites, blogs or podcasts. Check out our End User License (link below) for full details.

There are some restrictions on how you can use our sound effects and music, but they are all meaningful. You cannot treat them as your own, and you cannot distribute them to others. You cannot use the sounds in isolation; they must be mixed into other audio or visual elements in your project. But you can use them in a live theatrical performance, for example, if there were creaking doors or thunder rolling outside the stage. That would be a perfect live performance use of our sounds. You can read all about that in our End User License (link below).

What are sound effects?

We think of sound effects as falling into 4 main categories: isolated sounds, special effects, foley sounds, and background sounds.

Isolated Voice
Isolated sounds include everyday objects like doorbells, car horns, and ringing phones. These are real, specific sounds you hear, like dogs barking, gunshots, doors slamming, and car tires squealing during a car chase.

Special Effects
Special effects include sounds specifically for objects and places that exist only in our imaginations. You might use special effects in cartoons, fantasy, and science fiction productions. They'll enhance a production by creating special sounds for a space transporter, the magic of a genie's brass lamp, or a giant purple man-eating cartoon animal.

Foley Sound
Foley sounds are essential to film and television production. Sometimes the use of Foley sounds is called audio sound replacement. Foley's magic blends footsteps into movie scores, recreates the rattle of a coffee cup placed on a table, provides realistic rustling of clothing and the ever popular sound of a slap in the face. These and many other sounds must be dubbed into the movie score during the post-production process so that the audience can hear them. They are named after Jack Foley, a pioneer in the field of sound replacement.

Background Sound
Background or ambience tracks provide the essential environment for a production. These sounds provide all the subtle ambience that makes a moviegoer or binge-watcher truly feel like they are in a courtroom, church, train station, thunderstorm, or jungle.
