Still having questions!?

Licensing

  • Can I use the sounds commercially?
    Yes, you can! 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*). ATTENTION: If you haven't payed for the sounds (Free MP3's) make sure to credit us. Read more about crediting here. *Third Party Sounds Yourfreesounds 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 our license agreement 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.

Technical Questions

  • I have problems downloading a sound library, what can I do?
    Make sure to follow these steps:
    1. Click the download button on the receipt page (or in your email) - you will be forwarded to the SYNC Cloud download page.
    2. In case the total file size is up to 1GB, just click the "Download all" link and save the zip on your device. In case the total file size is over 1GB download each folder individually!
    3. After you downloaded the zip archives you can simply unpack them.

  • The downloads from the cloud don't work. What can I do?
    This is most likely because the batches you tried downloading were too large! Because of the amount of files in the cloud, you will have to download files in separate batches and not all at once! The smaller the batch, the lower the risk of the downloaded zip folder being damaged at the end. Damages can happen e.g. due to interruptions in the download.
    As a rule of thumb, don't download files/folders larger than 1GB! (You can try, but there is no guarantee that it will work!)
