What HookSounds is
HookSounds is a music and sound library for videos, advertisements and other content. Its catalog includes royalty-free music, sound effects and intros. The company says its artists produce the music in-house and that it owns all rights to its music. Plans include alternate music versions, loops and shorter edits, with WAV and MP3 files; stem downloads and sound effects are also listed.
You can license tracks and effects through a subscription or buy individual items once. The listed licensing options include client work and perpetual usage rights. Free downloadable tracks are available for non-commercial projects. HookSounds also offers AI Studio, which creates a soundtrack based on an uploaded video's context and length. Its beta accepts video uploads up to 99 MB, and the company says uploaded videos are not stored on its servers. Subscribers can whitelist channels through their accounts to prevent future Content ID claims on that platform. The site also describes ShortCap for customizable captions and lists AI voiceovers as coming soon. Plans start at $9.99/mo (annual).
