Half a million Creative Commons sound samples, searchable by how they sound.
A collaborative library of field recordings, one-shots, loops and foley uploaded under Creative Commons licences, with search by tag, duration and similarity to a sound you have already found. Every file states its licence, so you can filter to the ones that need no attribution. Run by the Music Technology Group at Universitat Pompeu Fabra since 2005.
Questions
Free to use, but you have to register before it will do the job. Browsing and previewing are open but downloading needs a free account, and licences differ per file — some require credit.
Yes. Freesound sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
