SoundGator
What it is
SoundGator is a web library of downloadable sound effects for films, videos, multimedia projects, presentations, apps, games, and other projects. Its categories include Buttons, Domestic, Human, Industrial, Interface, Machines, Nature, Transportation, Urban, and Voices. Sample pages offer MP3 and WAV downloads. The free plan costs nothing, includes all sound effects for project use, requires no attribution, and does not require registration for downloads. The license allows effects to be incorporated into projects but prohibits selling, licensing, distributing, or posting them online as standalone sound effects, including modified versions. It also prohibits using the sounds to build AI models or products. Effects may appear in videos, but videos presenting them as standalone sound effects are not allowed. SoundGator is accessed on the web and has no free trial. A contact form is provided for support.
