FilmCow Royalty Free Sound Effects Library
A downloadable asset pack
More than 4,000 sound effects recorded by me at various points between 2005-2023, available for free.
- All of the sounds are 24 bit, 48kHz WAV files.
- Most of the sounds are things like metal hits, footsteps, office sounds, materials, etc.
- The majority of the files are in mono.
- The "Recorded" pack is the bulk of the sounds - sounds that I recorded with a microphone.
- The "Designed" pack is sounds I've put through various filters to create new effects.
All of the sounds are available to you on a completely royalty-free basis. You can use these sounds in as many projects as you like, either personal or commercial. You are not required to credit me.
The only restrictions on the usage of these sounds are:
- These sounds cannot be used for any national government projects (military recruitment, etc.)
- These sounds cannot be used for any law enforcement projects.
- These sounds cannot be used by any group categorized as a hate group by the SPLC or CAHN.
I'm not a professional sound engineer, but I've gotten a lot of use out of these sounds over the years and I hope you can get some use of out of them as well. Special thanks to scuffy for helping me record a number of the outdoor sounds!
Tipping is neither required nor expected, but always appreciated!

Thanks for making these great sounds! I used the cat meow effects in my latest gamejam. (https://xedindustries.itch.io/whisker-void)
I posted the recorded sfx collection here: https://github.com/mcdoolz/filmcow-recorded-sounds/tree/master
Thanks!!!
Hello, I'm adding this audio pack to my FOSS game engine to be used in the demo (with credits listed of course), you can check it here: ArcadeFighter
Thanks o/
This is amazing. Whose cat is meowing?
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this. You did a looot of sounds !
Used some for my gamedevjs jam game and credited you : https://nihdao.itch.io/nano-revolt
The license makes no mention of this so I want to ask - what's the terms when it comes to redistribution? Namely, use in an open-source game project where the files would be openly available along with the source code and art of the game.
Hi there, just to say thank you for sharing your content... quite a lot in these packs! I've used some of these SFX from this and one of your other packs in a demo I've recently updated: https://ringot.itch.io/backtothedark
Incredible library of sound effects! We used some of them in our game jam game (and credited you): https://almanak-games.itch.io/baba-yaga-prologue
Love your work!
Thank you for these! I'm excited to try them out in a new game I'm making!
What changed in the update?
With the previous upload, nothing, I accidentally re-uploaded an old version. With this new one - minor trimming of silences that I've done since release. The changes are very minor so there's probably no need to re-download.
Thank you so much for sharing these amazing effects!
Hi FilmCow,
Thanks for providing these SFX under a flexible license! I used a couple in my game submission to the Godot Wild Jam #62.

Hey! This is a wonderful resource! Thank you for everything
HOLY CHEESE AND CRACKERS! JACKPOT!
Amazing as always <3
Very nice, thanks!
These sounds are so well done and well made and just absolutely amazing, thank you so much.
These are great. I'll be using the alien ones for the Andromeda section in Vapor Trails.
ur a hero
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing such quality content!
dude this fucking rules
I saw your video about sound effects and reporting groups like Sidearm Studios... I just want to say thank you so much for that. I'm one of the people affected and was really upset, so it really brightened my day when you mentioned your free sound effect pack here. Hopefully I can replace the bulk of the sounds in my game with yours, otherwise I'll try with extreme novice-ability at creating ones for any that don't quite fit haha. And though you say credit isn't needed, I will definitely credit you. Thank you so much again!
God bless you!:>
Why do you ban use by national governments
I mean... do you want a horse telling you to join the military?
I made this game for a jam with your assets https://evertyt.itch.io/next
Awesome set, could you add a license file? :)
please do, Ill like a more official looking and specific license to follow
I LOVE YOUU SO MUCH, THANK YOUU!!!!
I love the fact that class traitors can't use this pack.
Also, are you filmcow?
Thank you kindly for sharing! It would be amazing to make any work knowing the sounds are coming from FilmCow as a source.
Can you kindly explain the last point
Who are ADL, SPLC, or CAHN?
Just so I understand
The ADL is the Anti-Defamation League, a group fighting and cataloguing anti-semitism and other forms of hate. Their definition of a hate group is here: https://www.adl.org/resources/glossary-term/hate-group
The SPLC, or Southern Poverty Law Center is another organization that monitors and fights hate groups. You can find their list here: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/groups
The CAHN is likely referring to the Crimes Against Humanity Nuremburg Project. Their list is here: https://cahnlist.org/CAHN%20List%201140922.pdf
EDIT: I was likely mistaken about the CAHN. This actually more liekly refers to the Canadian Anti-Hate Network
Ah ok thanks
I did a Google but I wanted to check incase my info was incorrect
That's awesome, thank you so much!
You are such a peach for handing this work out for people to use!
Hobby game dev myself here, a massive thanks for releasing these!
It can be a giant pain getting your hands on some good, usable sound effects when you do not have the setup to record your own. These are bound to be a huge help to a ton of hobbyists like me.
thanks for these!
AWESOME !! THANK YOU SM!!

How is your cat your adopted?
Very kind of you 💕
