2. What Soundyz is
Soundyz is an online library where you can preview sound effects and audio clips and download them as MP3 files. We do not require an account to browse or download.
3. Content and ownership
3.1 Audio clips on the Site come from many sources, including public domain material, user or third-party submissions, and publicly available internet sources. Unless stated otherwise, we do not claim ownership of the clips. Copyright and other rights remain with their respective owners, including game studios, film and TV producers, music rights holders, and individual creators.
3.2 Trademarks, character names and show or game titles that appear in clip titles are the property of their owners and are used only to describe the content. Their appearance does not imply endorsement or affiliation.
3.3 The Site design, text, code, logo and database structure are owned by us or our licensors and may not be copied without permission, except as allowed by law.
4. Permitted use
You may preview and download clips for personal, non-commercial and typical content-creation use, such as livestream alerts, Discord soundboards, videos, Shorts, Reels and TikToks.
You are solely responsible for deciding whether your intended use of any clip is lawful. In particular:
- Some clips may be protected by copyright, trademark, personality or publicity rights.
- Platforms such as YouTube, Twitch and TikTok may apply their own copyright rules, including Content ID claims or takedowns, even for clips downloaded here.
- For advertising, paid products, apps, games, films, broadcast or any commercial use, you must obtain the necessary rights from the original rights holder.
5. Prohibited use
You agree not to:
- Use the Site or any clip in a way that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, deceptive or that infringes anyone's rights.
- Use clips containing the voice or likeness of a real person to impersonate them, mislead others, create deceptive political content or imply endorsement.
- Re-upload, mirror or resell the library, or scrape or bulk-download the Site, without our written permission.
- Use bots, crawlers or automated tools in a way that overloads or disrupts the Site.
- Attempt to access non-public areas of the Site, interfere with security, or introduce malware.
- Remove or hide copyright or attribution notices where they appear.
6. Content removal
We respect intellectual property rights and may remove or disable any clip at any time and for any reason. If you believe a clip infringes your rights, follow the process in our Copyright & DMCA Policy. We may terminate access for users who repeatedly infringe.

The Site may contain advertising and links to third-party websites or services. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, policies or practices.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
The Site and all clips are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy of labels (such as language or category), and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not guarantee that clips are free of third-party rights or that downloaded files are free of defects.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we and our owners, officers, employees and contributors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill or revenue, arising from your use of the Site or of any clip, including claims by third parties relating to how you used a clip. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Site will not exceed USD 100.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Age requirement

12. Changes to the Site and these Terms
We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site, and update these Terms at any time. The "Last updated" date shows the latest version. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
