Meet Free To use Sounds
Who would have thought a handy sound recorder in Cambodia would lead us here? Hi there we're Libby and Marcel and every sound on this site has been recorded by us. For nearly 11 years, we've been traveling around the world recording unique sounds for others to use!
Have some questions
that need to be answered?

Great question! And a quick tip—whenever you buy digital products online, always check the About page and be cautious of faceless websites.
We're Libby and Marcel, the founders of Free To Use Sounds. This is our site, and we share our interest about field recording and provide high-quality sounds to creators worldwide. You might have already seen us on YouTube or Instagram, especially if you've been researching your first field recording device. And for even more credibility—CNN has featured us on their site! Every single sound on this site (including the All in One Bundle) has been recorded by us.
-
Our sounds are recorded in high-quality WAV format, using professional equipment with 48kHz to 192kHz sample rates at 24-bit and 32-bit depth. This bundle also includes multi-channel recordings from:
First and second-order ambisonic microphones
Schoeps DMS (Double MS) setups
DPA 5100 for 5.1 multi-channel recordings
We strive to provide the best possible audio quality for sound designers, filmmakers, and musicians while keeping our bundle super affordable!

No, absolutely not.
Reselling our sounds would be a violation of our license agreement and international copyright law. Our sounds are meant to be used in creative projects, not redistributed or sold as standalone assets. Please don't be that person.
-
Yes! Our sounds can be used in both personal and commercial projects. Just make sure to review our License Agreement to ensure compliance.
-
Yes! If you’re interested in a full buyout, please reach out to us directly to discuss pricing and terms. Keep in mind that pricing follows industry-standard norms and will be adjusted accordingly.
-
Since it’s just the two of us recording, traveling, editing, and publishing, updates do not follow a fixed monthly schedule. Our goal is to release new sound updates within a 3-month period, once a full batch of new recordings is ready.

For any questions, reach out to us through the contact form on our website. We're happy to assist!
