Sound Effects
- Many sound effects houses sell sets of sounds rather than just single
sounds.
- Many of the "free" sounds on these sites are only free
for personal use. Some require you to purchase a license before
using them commercially.
- Licensed and free sounds generally allow you to use them in any
manner you wish except for posting, reselling, or re-distributing
them.
- Posting licensed sounds to a company server generally requires
a multi-user license.
