Sound effects are often the unsung heroes of our favourite movies, video games, apps, and even explainer videos.

They're an aspect that we think we don't notice, but when they are removed it becomes very apparent that they're missing.

Just imagine "A Nightmare on Elm Street" without the chilling sound of Freddy Krueger's razor fingers scraping along the wall, or Star Wars without the iconic hum of a lightsaber igniting.

Even though the visuals, dialogue and music would all still be there, without the sound effects those scenes just wouldn't work: they'd be anti-climatic and weird.

And that's why it's so important that you don't forget about sound effects when creating content that contains audio!

The best free sound effects sites

There are so many sound effects sites out there that boast "the highest quality" or "the most cost-effective downloads", but the only way of really knowing which is best is to review them. So we've collated 20 of the best free sound effects sites and reviewed the pros, cons, functionality and more, to help you decide which is best for you.

In this post, we've focused on FREE sound effect sites. But if you're looking for more choice, professionalism and quality- and willing to pay a little for it - we strongly recommend checking out Artlist where you get unlimited music/sound effect downloads, to use in personal and commercial projects.

Bonus: We've partnered with Artlist to get you 2 extra months on your subscription when you sign up here:

1. SoundBible

One of the more simple websites on our list, SoundBible boasts lots of sound clips, but there is no easy way to filter through them. There is a search bar on the homepage that you can use to find sound effects by keywords, but no way to refine those results further.

However, the sound effects are of a high quality, free and all are available in both WAV and MP3 file formats. Plus, there's no need to create an account!

The website also makes it really easy to see the licensing agreement of each sound effect, so you don't have to waste your time looking at effects that you won't be able to use for your project.
Library size
The site boasts thousands, but the exact number is not listed.
Licensing
A mixture of public domain, non-commercial, and attribution.

Think of Pixabay and your mind will probably turn to 'stock photography' rather than 'sound effects.'

However, over the years, Pixabay has evolved into a real treasure trove of creative content - not just photos but also videos, music and, indeed, sound effects.

Their royalty free sound effects page features thousands of free options, for commercial and non-commercial use.

You can search by keyword, and also filter available clips by duration and category. This all makes it easy to find the clips you're looking for.

Clips can also be downloaded without even setting up an account which is a real bonus if you're in a rush!

Pros Cons

We're nitpicking - but it's hard to gauge just how many clips are available compared to other sites.
Library size
Again, it's hard to get the exact number but the site promises 'thousands' of effects.
Licensing
Everything you see on the royalty free sound effects page is free to use for commercial use without attribution.

A pretty basic - but potentially very valuable - website, sound effects are just one category of the musical offering provided by Free Loops.

The site offers more than seven thousand CC-licensed sounds and loops, which are divided into categories - one of which is sound effects.

There's no search function, nor can you really filter tracks other than by the aforementioned 'category' dropdown.

Also, make sure to check that your chosen sound effect is licensed for what you need. While the majority are CC-licensed meaning they're free for use with attribution, some are licensed for personal use only.

Pros

Free! No hidden paywalls or subscriptions. Everything on the site is totally free of charge.

A wide range of sound effects - particularly 'loops' e.g. ambient backgrounds.

Cons

No search or filter function - can make it difficult to find what you're looking for.

Different licenses for different tracks - make sure to do your due diligence before you download and use!

Library size
Over 7,000 tracks total (difficult to establish exactly how many of these are sound effects!)
Licensing
Check each individual file - majority are CC-licensed but some personal use only.

There's a certain nostalgia about Get-Sounds.com - but although aesthetically it's a little like a trip in the wayback machine, you can't knock it when it comes to content: simple to browse, quick to download and zero fuss!

It's a smaller library than most of the other items in this list, but the categories and search functionality make it super easy to find what you're looking for.

You don't need to create an account to download, which is an extra benefit.
Library size
Comparatively small - around 1,300 files in total.
Licensing
Free for commercial and non-commercial use, without attribution.

5. Freesound

Although not the prettiest site, Freesound is easy to navigate and puts a real focus on the community of people who use the site. As you can see from the above screenshot of the homepage, their blog is front and centre with lots of community updates for their users (who they affectionately call ' Freesounders ').

It's simple to search for any sound via the search bar, and users can view a wealth of information at a glance, including reviews, properties, download amounts, and the sounds license.

The community feel of the site continues here too, with users able to follow each other and listen to similar sounds with just one click.
Library size
Almost 400,000 sound effects, with more added every day.
Licensing
Sound effects can be listed under 3 different licenses. Here's a quick summary of each:

1. Zero - free commercial and non-commercial use

2. Attribution - free commercial use, but attribution is required

3. Attribution Non-Commercial - free for non-commercial use, but attribution is required

For a more detailed explanation, visit the Freesound FAQs page.

6. AudioMicro

AudioMicro is a huge site that includes stock music as well as sound effects. As you can see, the search bar is unmissable, making it very easy to get started on your search for sound effects.

Although the homepage boasts free sound effects, the majority of those on the site are charged at a flat rate of $4.95 per sound effect. It can cost more for a premium sound effect, but the standard ones sound great too. They also have a membership option, starting at $14.95/month for 5 sounds, going all the way to $199.95/month for 250 sounds (this reduces the cost per sound effect to $0.80).
Library size
Just over 420,000 sound effects, with around 2,000 of those being free.
Licensing
The license agreement allows you to use your sound effect for pretty much any commercial project. The only prohibited uses refer to distribution, for example, selling the sound effect as part of a media tool, like an e-card platform.

FindSounds isn't exactly the prettiest site on our list, but it does what it says on the tin. Unlike some of the sites we've covered, FindSounds doesn't have its own database of sound effects to choose from, it simply makes it easier for you to find free sound effects online. Kind of like a sound effects search engine!

It does also have popular sounds split into categories that makes them easy to find, sample, and download.

Pros Cons

It's clunkier and slower than some sites listed
Library size
FindSounds doesn't have its own library per-se but you can search the web so you have access to a lot of sounds.
Licensing
It depends on the site that the sound effect is sourced from. FindSounds is a search engine and so does not make claims regarding the licensing of the sounds.

Orange Free Sounds is a one-stop shop for sound effects and background music. And the site is trusted by professionals in many industries, from film editors to music producers, to video game developers.

If you don't mind the colour orange ( like, a lot of it!) the site is great. It's easy to navigate, sounds play instantly, there's a lot of variety, and it's easy to search for what you need.

Pros Cons

There doesn't seem to be a way to filter your results, so if you need a sound effect for commercial use it could take a while to find one with the correct license.
Library size
There's no specific number on the site but there's definitely no shortage of sound effects here! We counted 44 pages of sound effects for the term "funny", and the database is updated with new material on a regular basis.
Licensing
It depends on the individual sound effect, but there are sounds available for both commercial and non-commercial use.

9. 99 Sounds

According to the 99 Sounds website, their goal is to 'provide free sound effects and sample libraries of commercial quality, at no charge.' So you can rest assured that all sound effects on this site are 100% royalty free for commercial use.

99 Sounds is less like a sound effect directory, and more like a small collection of themed sound effects. There is no way to search and download an individual sound, you can only download a themed collection:

The collections are presented in a nice, clean format and almost look like they have album covers. But because of the themed nature of the collections, there probably isn't something for everyone here.
Library size
32 collections.
Licensing
All royalty free for commercial use.

10. FreeSFX

FreeSFX is a 'no-frills' sound effects site, but it is super-easy to navigate. From the homepage, you can either use the big search bar at the top, click one of the categories on the left-hand side, or use the tabs to find a sound effect.

It's not the biggest site out there, and if you search for something that they don't have you will be taken to a 404 page. This happened a couple of times when we were trying it out.

You need to create an account to be able to download sound effects, but it is quick and free to do so. The biggest downfall of this site is that the quality of the effects is hit and miss.
Library size
Approx. 4,500.
Licensing
Free for commercial use, but attribution required.

11. SoundEffects+

Similar to Noise for Fun, SoundEffects+ is a site full of exclusive sound effects that are all designed, recorded, and produced by the site's team of audio professionals. According to the about us page, all of their sound effects are 'recorded with state of the art audio equipment, carefully edited, and mastered to be clean and crisp without any unwanted noise or interference.'

They have a list of impressive clients, including LG and Sony, and all of their sound effects are royalty free and available in MP3 and WAV formats.

You do need to register to download the sound effects, like most of these sites, but the registration form is a little longer than most that only ask for your email address and password.
Library size
Over 5,000.
Licensing
Royalty free, for both non-commercial and commercial use.

12. BBC Sound Effects

That's right, even the BBC are in on the sound effects party! Their site, BBC Sound Effects, has a large library of WAV format sound effects that are free for personal, educational, or research purposes.

The site isn't much to look at, but it is very functional. The only problem we found was with the search bar, which wasn't very intuitive. For example, it couldn't recognise 'beeping' or 'car beeping'. To find this sound effect we had to type in 'car horn'.

If you want to use the sound effect in a commercial setting, then it's easy to click a link to be sent to another site called ProSoundEffects where you can buy the license to use it.
Library size
16,000.
Licensing
Royalty free for non-commercial use, and a paid option for commercial use.

SoundsCrate is an arm of ProductionCrate, which is a site that covers everything you might need to create a video project, from video effects to 3D models and music, and, of course, sound effects.

All of the sound effects on SoundsCrate are 100% original and created by Hollywood industry professionals. According to the site, you won't find these effects anywhere else and they're all completely free to use with no attribution required.

Pros Cons

Some content is for "Pro" users only so it can be confusing to know what's free
Library size
It's difficult to tell but it's likely somewhere in the hundreds range rather than the thousands.
Licensing
No attribution required.

MixKit is a nice site that is easy to use both with the filters available and the search functionality. Like SoundsCrate it's part of a wider catalogue of media, including videos, photos, and music.

Sounds are available to download in either .wav or .mp3 format, and all are royalty-free and can be used in personal or commercial projects without attribution. The site lists attribution as " preferred, but not required. "

Pros Cons

Envato Elements, a subscription service for audio tracks, is always promoted and it can be confusing as to which sounds are free and which are part of the Envato Elements library
Library size
Another one that's difficult to pin down, but their premium service (Envato Elements) boasts over 400,000.
Licensing
No attribution required.

15. Zapsplat

Zapsplat boasts a collection of approximately 98,000 royalty free sound effects, and also a collection of royalty free music. The ability to post requests, along with the 'top searches' section, gives the website a 'social media' feel.

You do need to sign up for an account to download sound effects, and you must include attribution if you use the sound effect for commercial purposes. However, if you give a donation (a minimum of £20 per year or a monthly fee set by you) you don't have to give attribution.

You can download sounds individually or as a pack of similar effects, and it is easy to choose either MP3 or WAV.
Library size
Approx. 98,000
Licensing
Attribution required for commercial use, but this can be removed for a small donation.

16. SoundGator

Similar to Zapsplat, SoundGator has also borrowed some features from social media sites, including the ability to make friends with other users and send messages back and forth. But that is seemingly where the similarities end.

SoundGator has a very small library of sound effects and, although there is a 'recently added' section and a prominent search bar on the home page, it is difficult to find specific sounds.

However, SoundGator is unique in the fact that it includes voice clips as well as sound effects. These are quite random, and could in no way be used as a replacement for a voiceover in your video, but would be great for the odd character exclamation.
Library size
Approx. 1,000
Licensing
Free for non-commercial and commercial use.

17. Sound Jay

One of the first things that stands out about Sound Jay is that there is no search bar. The only way to search for sound effects is by clicking on one of the ten categories on the homepage, as you can see from the screenshot above.

Clicking on a category, say 'weather', will take you to a list of more niche categories, for example: 'rain sounds', 'wind sounds' etc.

The sound effects on Sound Jay are 16 bit stereo 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz high-quality, and available in MP3 or WAV format. The size is also disclosed before download, which is helpful. Although the library seems small, there is a message on the homepage advising users to bookmark the site as they often add new sounds.
Library size
The navigation of the website makes it too difficult to know for sure, but it is clear that the library is small compared to other sites on this list.
Licensing
Free for non-commercial and commercial use.

SoundStripe is a license free music site first and foremost, but they also boast thousands of high-quality sound effects.

It's easy to search for and preview sounds, however you do need an account to download sound effects.

It's easy to sign up and your subscription becomes your license - so you never need to worry about licensing.

Pros Cons

You need to create an account to get started
Library size
Over 45,000
Licensing
Universal license so you can use your sound effects anywhere, but this comes at a monthly cost for a subscription.

19. PacDV

PacDV has been around since 2001 and their sound effects have been featured in a variety of films and TV programmes.

At first glance, the layout is very similar to Sound Jay. There is no search bar and the only way to find sound effects is to navigate through the list of ten categories on the left-hand side. However, whereas Sound Jay has categories that become more and more niche, PacDV sticks with the broad categories and that makes it more difficult to find what you're looking for.

Some of the files are WAV and some are MP3, so it is kind of just 'luck of the draw' when it comes to finding sound effects for your project. The sound effects are free for commercial use and you are not required to give attribution, but PacDV does politely ask for it!
Library size
The navigation of the website makes it too difficult to know for sure, but we can estimate that they have a couple of thousand.
Licensing
All royalty-free for commercial use.

20. Partners in Rhyme

When you visit Partners in Rhyme, it is clear to see that it is a well-organised directory of sound effects. All of the sound effects are categorised in a way that makes it easy to find what you're looking for. There's also a search bar to give you the option to search via keyword.

Clicking on a category will usually take you to a different site that hosts the sound effects. All of these (that we came across) were royalty free, however some cost a couple of dollars to download.

All of the sound effects we found were available in WAV or MP3, and none of the sites that Partners in Rhyme linked to required users to sign up for an account.
Library size
Thousands
Licensing
All royalty free.

TL;DR? Here's our top 3
1. SoundBible
The winner here is SoundBible! There are tons of high quality, free sound effects - with no need to create an account. The licensing is also really transparent.
2. FreeSound
FreeSound has over 400,000 FREE sound effects! We also really like how clear they make everything for users. All you could possibly want to know-file format, file size, bitdepth, star rating-is all there in front of you.
3. SoundEffects+
We liked that SoundEffects+ didn't require users to sign up to download their sound effects. It's also a huge benefit that they create all of their own sound effects. It gives you peace of mind that everything you download from them is unique.

Summary

Considering how much of an impact sound effects have, it's amazing to see how inexpensive they are. Most of the sites we reviewed didn't even charge a penny for their sound effects.

But more important than obtaining your sound effects, is learning how to use them correctly in order to make your content as compelling as possible. Now that you're up to speed with the best sound effects sites, take a look at our round up of the best royalty free music sites.

What a week. On Monday, the UK government effectively closed all theatres and arts venues. By Friday, apart for access for the children of key workers, schools are closed. We are not alone.

It's a blow for the arts, a blow for education and a double blow for arts education.

C&T finds itself in an almost unique position: a theatre and education company with the capacity to deliver projects, programmes and resources digitally. Our Prospero theatre facilitation technology was designed to enable online creative learning. We feel that puts a special responsibility on us.

So we have decided in the weeks and months ahead to do our very best to maximise the potential of Prospero for everyone. We think we can do this in three ways:

1. Making free resources available to schools and universities; home learners and teachers.

2. Supporting artists, teachers, voluntary groups and charities to use Prospero to enable them to maintain their work with often vulnerable groups.

3. Offer discounted Individual subscriptions to teachers, so they can use the platform cheaply and effectively with their cohort of students.

Today, in addition to the resources already available for free in the Prospero Library, we are announcing the first phase of this programme, all facilitated by Prospero:

A free online theatre-based Lip Sync Battle Festival, where students can make their own drama-based lip syncs from their own homes. The program will culminate with an online celebratory lip sync festival for all.

A documentary drama, 'Living Newspaper' project, with students document and dramatising and sharing the untold news stories of our times.

In Trinidad and Tobago, Red Flag are using Prospero to develop a programme of theatre-based resources to support victims of domestic violence, who, because of self-isolation measures, are confined to their homes with their abusers.

In the South West of England, Growing Together Cornwall is using Prospero to creatively facilitate a gardening project with elderly people suffering social isolation in care homes.

For Fort Royal School, Worcester, we are making Prospero curriculum and therapeutic home teaching resources for families with children with a range of severe Special Education Needs, as part of our Time To Be Seen project .

Royal Opera House, London, composer Martin Ward is working with Prospero to create a set of music education workshops, through which children and families can make music together at home.

These ideas are a really simple form of learning using stories and adventures, where children become 'people' whose help is needed to solve a problem. The story provides the purpose for the learning and activities are required to help to solve challenges. It doesn't matter what the age or ability level of your child is as Explore More is designed so they will naturally adapt and learn at their own pace. This means children of different ages can work alongside each other as well.

The powerpoint story is easy to follow, just click through each slide and follow the narrative and questions.There are notes in some of the slides to help you and some activities will have separate resources which you will find in each of the stories 'resource box'.

Best to have a read through all the slides before you go into presentation mode with your child. There is no need for you to sit alongside your child all the way through - there are plenty of tasks that they can get on with while you do something else (though you may find yourself drawn in!)

You can pause the activities at any time and add your own in response to your child's ideas. For example if they become excited about the design of a castle or an enchanted forest and this seems to have captured their interest, you might spend some time with them exploring more. Your child could spend some time looking at castles and fictional forests in books or on child friendly websites such as BBC Bitesize or maybe look for an online museum, gallery or children's author's site. Be guided by your child's questions and curiosity. As you go along, you may find that they just get on with this on their own, coming up with their own tasks that need doing to complete the story. This is fine and further empowers their independent learning.

Questions drive a lot of the learning here and you are instrumental in asking those questions. So do follow and repeat the questions in the slide, adding your own or encouraging your child to ask questions back to you.

You can be the one who knows "I know this - do you think it would be useful?"

Or the one who doesn't "I have no idea - what do you think we should do?"

Or the one who warns "I have heard they have very good hearing - how can we travel undetected?"

Or the one who wonders "I wonder if we should take a ...."

Over the next few weeks we'll be sharing lots of places to find themes and ideas and how to ask questions and support the roles you can play in this learning. And play is the key word here - this is serious but playful work designed to get children thinking hard, but in a safe and enjoyable space. You don't need many resources, but you'll find big sheets of paper useful (use the back of off cuts of wallpaper if you have them). Masking tape can also be useful for timelines, room plans etc. But just use whatever you have to hand.

It's understandable if you just want to dip in and out of these stories. But one way of helping young people and ourselves become resilient learners is through some good, old fashioned escapism. Delving into stories where they children become the expert, an active agent of change is empowering for them - they have the power to decide and to change the direction of events. They need to feel they have a little power and control in their lives too! Learning through stories can help with that.

Good luck and watch this website- many more ideas will be coming your way in the next few months.

Wishing you all the best on your Explore More journey!
The Explore More Team.

A Growing List of FREE Tools & Resources for Distance Learning
