What SoundBits is
SoundBits offers sound effects libraries and bundles for multimedia projects, with a free collection and paid options. The free Sound Effects Collection has 285 files, takes 2.1 GB, and includes metadata; its sounds may be used in linear commercial or non-commercial projects. The Starter Pack costs 10.00 EUR once and includes selected sounds from an original library plus a 10€ coupon toward that library.
Paid library sounds carry a royalty-free synchronization license that is lifetime, worldwide, non-transferable, and non-exclusive. It allows use in musical, video game, and multimedia-related projects without a limit on how often sounds are used. Files are BWF-tagged WAV, mostly at 24-bit/96 kHz. The Just Whoosh library includes metadata and follows the Universal Category System. One buyer may use purchased sounds on up to two workstations owned by the same person or business; other users need separate licenses. After PayPal payment, download links appear in the confirmation email or account Downloads page. Sales are final, and downloaded libraries cannot be returned except at SoundBits’ discretion in exceptional cases.
