Are the sounds really free?
Yes. Every sound here plays and downloads for free as an MP3, WAV or OGG file. No account, no sign-up and no daily limit. The site is supported by ads.
Can I use these sounds in monetized YouTube videos?
Yes. Use them in YouTube videos, podcasts, games, apps, ads and client work, even when it's monetized. Credit is appreciated but you don't have to give it. The one thing you can't do is resell the raw sound files as your own sound library. The license page has the details.
Where do the sounds come from?
Daily Sounds has been recording and making sound effects since 2018. Some are recordings of everyday stuff and things outside, some are designed effects, and a few newer ones are synthesized in code. Most of them also go up on the Daily Sounds YouTube channel, one a day. A few come from community creators, and they get credit on their pages.
How do I add a sound to my video?
Open the sound, hit Download and drag the MP3 into your editor's timeline. CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, iMovie and the rest all take MP3s. Trim the start so the sound lines up with the action, and turn it down under anybody talking.
What format are the downloads?
MP3 by default, so you can drop it into any video editor, DAW or game engine. On every sound page and list you can switch to WAV (uncompressed, for editors and audio apps) or OGG (Ogg Vorbis, for game engines like RPG Maker, Godot and Unity). Those copies get made from the MP3 right in your browser. Each sound page lists the length, loudness and audio format. Most sounds are a few seconds long. Ambiences and loops run longer.
Is there a phone app?
Yes. Open dailysounds.org/app on your phone and add it to your home screen. It's a soundboard with favorites, loops and a sleep timer.
