Short version: the sound catalog is sourced from CC0-licensed material and commercial use is allowed. Attribution with a link to lotsofsounds.com is required for all uses. Your use of the website, API, and related services is also subject to our platform terms and policies.

Catalog license

Lotsofsounds provides a catalog of sounds that are offered under Creative Commons 0 (CC0). Our product is designed to make those sounds easier to search, preview, access, and use through our website and API.

How you can use the sounds

The sound files may be used royalty-free, including for commercial use. You may use downloaded sounds in apps, games, media, prototypes, demos, and shipped products. Attribution with a link to lotsofsounds.com is required whenever you use sounds from the platform.

Important limits

This page is a general statement about the catalog and is not legal advice for your specific use case. You are responsible for determining whether a particular sound is suitable for your project, especially if your use case involves trademarks, publicity rights, sensitive subject matter, regulated industries, or rights outside copyright.

Our role

Lotsofsounds provides hosting, organization, metadata, search, and delivery tooling. We do not transfer ownership of the audio files to you, and we do not grant rights beyond the license applicable to the sound made available through the platform.
