Common questions about loading
Can I loop a loading sound while my app waits?
None of these files is a checked seamless loop. Replay a short one each cycle, or crossfade two.
Is there a sound for when loading finishes?
Not on this page; use the success page for the moment the load completes.
In code: GET https://sfxmint.com/api/v1/roles/loading returns a default loading file with alternates, and the MCP tool get_role_sound does the same for coding assistants. No key needed.
