Household & Kitchen Sound Effects
Refrigerators, windows, bottle caps, chairs, cooking and tabletop pieces from around the home. 18 sound collections · 43 free CC0 sounds — open a collection to preview every variation and download MP3/WAV.
The small sounds of a home: refrigerator doors and hum, windows and latches, bottle caps, a chair settling on the floor, a pull-chain lamp, food frying in a pan, a knife set on a chopping board, and wooden pieces moved on a game board or abacus. Each clip is one short action, suited to close-up foley.

How to choose household & kitchen sound effects
Choose by the material you see on screen: wood, plastic and glass answer differently even for the same action. Kitchen sounds sit close to the microphone, so keep them a little under any voice. Appliance hums work as a quiet bed; lower them until they are felt more than heard.
Where these sounds work best
- kitchen and cooking videos
- home and apartment scenes
- board game and tabletop apps
- close-up foley for animation
Frequently asked questions
- Can I use these in a cooking channel's videos?
- Yes. CC0 allows commercial use, monetized channels included, with no attribution and no licence fee.
- Where are door and glass sounds?
- House doors, knocks and locks are in Door Sounds, and cups, mugs and breaking glass are in Glass & Ceramic. This category holds the rest of the household.
