We built Lotsofsounds because finding and managing sound effects is still surprisingly painful for developers. You either download massive packs of files you'll never use, or you spend hours on free sound sites trying to find something decent.
We wanted something better: a simple API where you search for what you need and get it.
What Lotsofsounds does
- Thousands of royalty-free sounds — nature, UI, foley, music, cinematic, ambient, and more
- REST API — search by keyword, filter by tags and duration, sort by rating or popularity
- Signed download URLs — no file hosting on your end, just grab a URL and stream or download
- Built for automation — fetch sounds in CI/CD pipelines, let AI agents select audio, build internal tools
Who it's for
- App developers adding audio feedback (notifications, button clicks, transitions)
- Game developers sourcing UI sounds, ambient audio, impact effects
- AI agent builders giving LLMs the ability to find and use sound effects
- DevOps teams automating asset management in build pipelines
