YFS License
Before using the website yourfreesounds.com and downloading the sound files, you must agree to the following conditions. You have further questions regarding the use of the sounds? Then contact us!
Free sound effects (not the paid sounds and libraries!!!) downloaded from yourfreesounds.com require attribution in the form of a credit/link back to this website in case they’re used publicly and if you didn’t buy a YFS PRO library.
You can pick one of the following examples:
-> “Sound effects obtained from https://yourfreesounds.com”
-> “Sound effects created by https://yourfreesounds.com”
-> “Sound effects from https://yourfreesounds.com”
When setting the credit link, always make sure that the link is clickable. This should be the case if you copy one of the examples above.
SPECIAL CASE – TV, Film and Radio shows/programs, Music productions, Commercials, Offline Presentations, Live Shows, Theatrical performances, Conferences and Exhibitions:
Since none of these can link to a website, a backlink attribution is impossible. Therefore you need to either purchase a PRO library or purchase the sounds individually in high quality.
You can’t or don’t want to credit yourfreesounds?
In case you can’t or don’t want to set a credit/link, it is possible to purchase a YFS PRO library or purchase the sounds individually in high quality.
Companies, universities/schools, associations can purchase the PRO library for unlimited users.
Things you CAN do with the sound effects:
– You can use the sound effects forever and as often as you want.
– You can download the sound effects and save them on your computer or in the cloud.
-You can use the sound effects for all commercial as well as non-commercial projects and productions (limitation for third-party sounds that may appear in the background see below).
Here are some examples of what you can use the sounds for:
– TV, Film and Radio shows/programs
– Games
– Software
– Music productions
– Online Videos (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo etc.)
– Commercials
– Podcasts
– Websites
– Blogs
– Presentations
– Live Shows
– Theatrical performances
– Conferences

You can edit, mix and layer the sound effects with other sounds.
If you didn’t find the answer to a question about how to use the sounds, just contact me!
Things you CAN’T do with the sound effects:
-> Sell parts of the sounds or share them with others.
-> Call the sound effects your intellectual property.
-> Resell or share the sounds or libraries with other people. Tip: Share a link to the sounds instead!

Third Party Sounds
We makes every effort to ensure that no third-party sounds appear in the background of the recordings. However, if any third party sounds occur, the specification of this license does not apply to those sounds, since yourfreesounds is not the owner or licenser. This license applies exclusively to sounds that do not contain background sounds from third parties. The customer uses the sounds at his own risk or takes precautionary measures by cutting out the corresponding sounds.
