About this sound
A pure downward sub sweep with no hit attached. Editors deploy it as the 'uh oh' sound — under a freeze frame, a record-scratch moment, or the beat right before bad news lands. It needs decent speakers to fully register, so pair it with a visual cue.
FAQ
What is Sub Drop best for in a YouTube edit?
Reach for it on freeze frames & bad news. It runs about 6 seconds, so let the tail breathe under the next shot instead of chopping it — hard-clipped tails are what make edits feel amateur.
Do I need to credit YouTubeSFX when I use Sub Drop?
Yes. Sub Drop ships with the same royalty-free commercial license as the rest of the starter pack — monetized YouTube videos, client edits, Shorts, Reels and TikToks are all covered, with no attribution line needed.
Is Sub Drop safe for monetized uploads, claim-wise?
Yes — Sub Drop is claim-safe. It has no Content ID footprint and a clear commercial license, which closes off both the automated and the manual claim paths.
Do I need to sign up to download Sub Drop?
The Sub Drop MP3 here is a straight download — no form in the way. We only ask for an email if you want the complete starter pack delivered as a ZIP.
