Lots of Sounds combines a CC0 sound-effects library with an online soundboard, browser audio tools, a REST API, and a hosted MCP server. The maker says the sounds can be used commercially without attribution. Its catalog page lists 12,530 free sound effects for videos, games, apps, and streams. The API searches by keyword, filters by tags, category, and duration, and supplies signed URLs to stream or download MP3 files. It uses standard HTTP requests with an x-api-key header and requires no SDK. The hosted MCP server connects to Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or another MCP client. Free browser tools convert and trim audio and generate waveform images; the maker says processing takes place locally on the user's device. The soundboard offers 48 sounds without signup, with keyboard shortcuts for its first ten pads. The free plan allows browsing and previews but has no API access. Pro costs $15/month and includes 2,500 API requests per day; Enterprise costs $49/month and includes 50,000. Both paid plans list unlimited downloads.
Who it is for
It suits editors, game studios, product teams, AI apps, and sleep tools that need sound effects or API access. The free plan may suit people who only need catalog browsing and previews.
