Soundsnap a sound effect sharing site, where anyone who makes good high quality sound effects can upload and share with the world. Soundsnap organizes sounds by categories, and each one brings you to other deeper categories to find that specific sound your looking for. On the listings page, Soundsnap provides each sound effect with a flash preview and sound wave pattern. The site is pretty stable most of the time. However, if you click on a WAV file and then click a preview sound after that, it causes Internet Explorer to display an error that it cannot download. This goes away if you refresh the page.

One of the things we liked is their use of tags. Each sound file has their own tag, which helps you identify what exactly is going on. You can also use these tags to find deeper search results, for example, if your looking for laugh tracks but with only a female voice, the tags can be typed into the search bar and they’ll show up in the results. The only thing we would like from this service to make it easier, is to be able to click on multiple tags on the same screen. That way people wouldn’t have to type anything in the search bar to get relevant content.
