Common questions about loading

Can I loop these loading sounds?

Not as-is. These are one-shots of 1.7–6.0 s. For a continuous bed, layer two or three variations with a small offset, or pick a longer family from UI & Notification Sounds.

How long are the loading variations?

Between 1.7–6.0 s: the shortest is Steady Soft Loading Spinner Pulse 08 (1.7 s) and the longest Subtle Digital Loading Spinner Pulse 14 (6.0 s). The table above lists every variation.

Do I get WAV or MP3?

Both. WAV is the lossless file for editing and game engines; MP3 is smaller for direct web playback. The WAV masters are 44.1 kHz stereo. Each file page shows the measured duration, size and SHA256 for the format you pick.

Can I use loading sounds in a commercial project?

Yes. Every loading variation is CC0 1.0 public domain: commercial games, apps and videos included, with no attribution, no signup and no fee. Hotlinking the audio URLs is allowed.

How were these loading sounds made?

They were AI-generated from text descriptions of loading, then checked automatically for decodability, duration and silence. Nothing is recorded from or copied out of other sound libraries.
