How to find a sound
Type the sound you have in mind into the search box, such as door, rain or dog, and you'll get every matching sound in the library. To browse instead, start from one of the 9 categories above: they group sounds by what makes them, from interface clicks and alarms to animals, vehicles and ambience.
Press play on any row to hear it right away, then use the MP3 button to save the file. Every sound also has its own link, so you can send someone straight to the one you picked.
