Introduction
Hello and welcome to the Sound Effects Wiki! This is the place to look up and discover all the sound effects and sound effect libraries used in movies, TV shows, commercials, video games, anime, etc.
If you're having trouble on finding a certain sound effect in a scene you are posting in the Image Galleries, either write in the description "What ___ sound is this?" or make a blog of it, and admins will help you.

Rules if you intend on contributing information
- First off, in response to events that occurred on this Wiki in the past, you are now required to log in before adding anything.
- Only message admins or users from this site and not on other Wikia/Fandom sites please.
- Do not add fake or irrelevant information on this site please. In particular, you are not to add information to any upcoming films or video games until they are actually released - this website is not a crystal ball - we cannot predict whether or not upcoming media will use certain sound effects.
- When adding a new page, don't forget to add categories to it. You can also add categories after you make a new page.
- If you have not seen a whole TV series yet, then please do NOT put Shows That Don't Use categories on the article until after you watch all of its episodes.
- Non-stock voice clips are allowed as long if they’re used in other places. If a certain one is not used in other places, then it doesn’t count.
- NSFW is fine as long as you provide a clear disclaimer and censoring (e.g pixelations, blurring, and black bars) to comply with Fandom's TOS.
- Remember to add information, links, categories and images (in the Image Galleries) to BOTH the sound effects and media pages. Don't forget to add descriptions to the images, as well as putting the images in the SFX Image Galleries (not the media Image Galleries) in alphabetical order. (This will prevent admins from having to do them themselves.) Only upload images to the sound effects pages if they don't have media pages and make sure you add them into the Image Gallery correctly.
- If you are adding several images or audio files to a gallery, it's recommended to use the Mass upload tool in the Source Editor.
- Don't add in links to pages on the Link your photo (optional) selection on the images in the Image Galleries. Images are used to click on to see the full size, not as a link to another page.
- External links to other sites are only allowed to be in their own section on media pages, as well as in Clean, Full Length and Unedited Link to the Sound Effect sections in sound effects pages.
- Don't upload screenshots from a computer, shot from a camera please. Use the PrtScn button on your keyboard, or press the volume and power buttons on your phone or tablet to take proper screenshots instead. If it's from a media source, use any software like VLC Media Player to capture the moment where a sound occurs at.
- If you only have a different audio file of a sound effect, you can convert it to an MP3 or OGG file on this site.
- When posting captures from a media source, you can either upload still images (jpg or png) or moving GIF images. And you can update the still images with GIF images if you want. Use GIPHY to make GIFs from YouTube or Vimeo videos. Use Gfycat for to make GIFs from Dailymotion videos.
- Another way to make GIFs, is with Clipchamp, which requires a video file to make them. You can record videos with Bandicam or the Xbox Game Bar (press and hold Start + Alt + R to start recording).
- Use YouTube To MP4 to download YouTube videos to edit on Clipchamp.
- You can either add an MP3 or OGG sound effect file here on the Audio Samples in the sound effect pages, and/or link to the sound effect found on either www.audiomicro.com or www.sourceaudio.com.
- Don't remove the audio files from the Audio Samples, if you hate that sound, don't click on it.
