Sounds Effects on the Cheap [Free]
What blew me away is that I hadn’t come across this web site before! I’ve done a few sound projects before and I always had to deal with what I could find, what I was given, or have to make the sound effects myself.
Usually the web sites that offer sound effects offer low quality stuff, or preview only. Other professional sites will offer a small free collection and keep the good stuff under lock and key. Still other sound effect sites look like a high school project hastily thrown togther with excessive animated GIFs and too many text colors.
Well, I was delightfully surprised to find Soundsnap. Soundsnap is a community web site where users upload, share, and download sound effects and music loops. Best of all, it’s all free and most of the stuff I previewed where of good or high quality. This isn’t a small collection either, there’s something like 80,000 different sounds. Though, 50,000 clips are music loops, but I suppose if that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in luck!
Here are some samples of stuff I was looking for:
127 BPM Monkey (I wasn’t really looking for this, but came across it, thought it sounded neat…)
Also, according to the FAQ and the Terms of Service, everything is offered at no cost and users are free to use for any purpose, commercial or not.
