Adding Sound Effects to Your Videos
After downloading, unzip the file and drag the WAV or MP3 files directly into your video editor's media bin. The pack works in Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, iMovie, After Effects, and any editor that supports standard audio formats.
Place whoosh sounds on the audio track at each scene cut, text pop-up, or B-roll transition — they're the most universal sound in the pack and work on almost every edit. Drop an impact hit on any moment you want to land harder: a statistic appearing on screen, a title card, a key line of dialogue. Add risers underneath the 2–3 seconds before a major reveal or topic change to build tension naturally. Keep levels subtle — whooshes typically sit at -18dB to -24dB so they're felt more than heard.

Common questions about the free starter pack
Is this actually free? What's the catch?
No catch. The free starter pack contains 40 sound effects and you get it by entering your email address — that's it. No credit card, no trial period, no automatic subscription. We'll occasionally email you about new sounds or updates, but you can unsubscribe any time. The only other thing we offer is an optional Ultimate Pack (1000+ sounds) which you can explore or completely ignore.
Can I use these sounds in monetised YouTube videos?

Use them in monetised YouTube videos, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, client projects, podcasts, and online courses. No attribution required. No Content ID risk — these sounds are original productions, not sampled from copyrighted material.
What format are the sound effects in?
All 40+ sounds come as both WAV (uncompressed, highest quality) and MP3 (compressed, smaller size). WAV files are best for professional editors like Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve where quality matters most. MP3 files work well in CapCut, iMovie, or any mobile editor where file size is a consideration.
Which editors does this work with?
Any editor that supports WAV or MP3 files — which is every mainstream video editor. Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, iMovie, After Effects, Vegas Pro, Kdenlive. Simply drag and drop the files onto your timeline.
