Questions about free sound effects
Can I use these in a video, game or app I sell?
Yes. All SFXMint sounds are offered under CC0 1.0: use them in YouTube videos, games on Steam or itch.io, apps and ads. No attribution or license fee is required.
How many sounds can I download?
Listening is free and unlimited. Downloads: 3 MP3 downloads a day, with or without a free account; WAV and ZIP packs come with a purchase. A download pack unlocks WAV, unlimited library downloads, API and MCP use, and ZIP packs for 30 days from payment.
How do I add a sound to my project?
Preview it, download the MP3, and add the file to your project. You can also let Claude Code, Cursor or Codex fetch it through the API or MCP.
What if my game needs a sound the library doesn't have?
Search for it anyway, by what you hear rather than what it is for. New sounds join the library from what people search for and don't find.
Can I ship these in a game on Steam?
Yes. The sounds are CC0, so no licence or credit is needed. They are AI-generated, and Steam's Content Survey asks about AI-made content that ships with a game, sound included: describe SFXMint's sounds in its AI section. itch.io asks the same in its AI disclosure.
What has been checked?
Every file is checked one by one: its format, length, loudness and peak level are measured, and the length each page shows is the part you can hear.
