Popular YouTubers often use a variety of sound effects to enhance their videos. While it's challenging to determine the exact sound effects every YouTuber uses as their choices can vary, here are some commonly used non-copyrighted sound effects that many creators rely on:
YouTube Audio Library: YouTube provides a vast collection of royalty-free sound effects and music through its Audio Library. You can access it by going to your YouTube Studio, selecting "Audio Library" from the left-hand menu, and then exploring the "Sound Effects" section.
Freesound.org: Freesound is a popular platform where you can find a wide range of user-uploaded sound effects that are available under Creative Commons licenses. Make sure to review the license terms for each sound effect you download to ensure it is suitable for your usage.
ZapSplat: ZapSplat offers a large collection of free sound effects that can be used in YouTube videos, provided you credit the source. They have a diverse range of sounds, including nature, animals, technology, and more.
SoundBible: SoundBible is another website that offers free sound effects for personal and commercial use. It provides a wide selection of sounds in different categories, such as cartoon sounds, horror sounds, and household sounds.
Epidemic Sound (for creators with a subscription): While Epidemic Sound primarily offers a paid subscription for access to their extensive library of music, they also provide a selection of sound effects that can be used by creators who have an active subscription.
Remember to always check the specific licensing terms of each sound effect you download to ensure it aligns with your usage requirements and complies with copyright regulations.
