alfred.makes starter sound kit: 26 free sound effects

Download the kit (5.7 MB)

26 sound effects for your videos: pops, whooshes, clicks, typing, dings, a tick, two risers, a thud, a hit, a glitch, a camera shutter and a page flip.

Every sound is CC0 (public domain). Use them in anything, sponsored posts included, and you don't have to credit anyone. They're 48 kHz / 24-bit WAVs, trimmed to start right on the sound, all at the same volume.

Using it with Claude

Claude picks sounds by file name, so every file here is named for what it is. Keep doing that when you add your own.

My free Claude Video Reel Editor skill sorts this folder for you. Point it at the kit folder:

Where they're from

Every sound is from Freesound, rated 4.5 stars or higher by at least 5 people, and CC0 when I downloaded it. CREDITS.csv in the download lists who recorded each one.
