Royalty-free means that you pay a one-time fee to gain the legal right to sync a piece of music to a project(s). Your projects may include things like commercials, video games, Youtube Videos, films, documentaries, presentations, flash websites or instructional videos. In simpler terms, Royalty-free music is an inexpensive solution that allows you to legally add great sounding music to your multimedia works.

All our music is not content ID registered so you do not have to worry about content ID claims on YouTube.

Credit is not required. Once you purchase a license, you can use the audio without attribution. If you would like to credit us, a simple “Music/Sound Effects by WOW Sound” is more than enough and always appreciated by our team.

All sounds, music, and sound effects from WOW Sound are strictly prohibited for use in:

• Training, developing, or improving AI/ML systems (including deep learning, generative AI, or neural networks)
• Creating datasets for AI/ML training or validation
• Generating AI-based sound effects, music, or voice outputs (This applies regardless of whether the output is commercial or non-commercial)

Yes! We offer custom sound design services for games, film, trailers, media, and television.
If you need custom music, we also feature a range of trusted composers you can work with directly.

Rates:
• Sound effects: USD $30–80 per SFX (including variations)
• For custom music, rates vary by composer and project.

No, we do not. Sorry about that!

If you cancel or don’t renew, you don’t need to take your projects down. Any game or project released under an active subscription remains licensed forever, so you can continue selling it. Plus, player streams or gameplay uploads aren’t considered new projects.

Yes! You can cancel your subscription anytime under your 'My Account' Column, click on 'My Subscriptions'. If you forget to cancel and haven’t downloaded any tracks, we offer a full refund within 14 days.

Learn more about how our subscription works.

Once your subscription ends, your license to use the music and SFX expires. To use tracks in new projects after canceling, you’ll need to renew your subscription or buy them individually.

Once you launch your game with an active subscription, the files remain legally tied to it even if you cancel, so you don’t need to repurchase standalone packs. If you plan to add more audio or create new content, you can renew your subscription or buy additional packs.

Under your 'My Account' (TuneBud) Column, click on 'My Subscriptions'.
The subscription page will appear, and you can click the 'Cancel plan' button to cancel.

Your subscription resets on the 1st of every month, not based on the date you subscribed.

Yes! You can use our music in podcasts. During an active subscription, you can download and reuse music and sound effects as often as you like. However, if your subscription expires, you can’t use downloaded content in future episodes.

The Creator Plan is for solo creators earning under $100K per year, for personal projects or one-man freelance work with clients (excluding TV/broadcast rights).

Both the Pro and Business Plans support client projects. The Creator Plan is for solo creators working on personal projects only, not client work.

No, our Business Plan is strictly for video games, web, apps, podcasts, and social corporate content.

Broadcast or paid streaming rights (e.g., Netflix, Hulu, Disney+) aren’t included. For those, please purchase a Legendary Music License.

Yes! All music tracks and sound effects are included in all subscription plans.

With a Subscription (Creator, Pro, or Business Plan), you can download up to 99 tracks per month. Each main track and its variations are counted separately—for example, the MTG Bounce and Battle FULL Loop includes 7 submixes, so it counts as 8 tracks in total.

Our download limit ensures a carefully curated, high-quality selection while supporting the artists behind every sound. It maintains a copyright-safe, worry-free experience and encourages intentional creativity, helping you find the perfect sounds for your project.

You can view your download count under 'My Account' (TuneBud) > 'Account Details'.

A FULL Loop is a complete musical mix that loops seamlessly and endlessly. It does not contain an introduction or an ending. Track durations vary, ranging from 10 seconds to 5 minutes. Learn more about our music mixes.

No. The "WOW Sound" voiceover is only present in the audio preview on our website and Soundcloud. After you purchase a license, you will be able to download a clean copy. 

Yes, you may, but the copyright still belongs to WOW Sound. As such, copying, redistribution and resale of the modified content is not allowed. 

The watermarked audio you downloaded is provided to help you test and preview how the sound fits within your project during development. However, it cannot be used in any final or publicly released project, even with the watermark.

This allows you to experiment freely while ensuring the final project uses fully licensed, watermark-free audio for the best experience. Once you’re ready, you can purchase the license to get the high-quality, watermark-free version. If you have any questions about licensing or need help selecting the right sounds, feel free to contact us—we’re happy to assist! 

Yes! The Common License covers both commercial and non-commercial video games, including online marketing content such as trailers and promotions on the web and social media. This license is specially discounted for video game-related content.

No, our music is licensed for synchronization in media productions (e.g., games, videos, films) and cannot be used as stand-alone tracks or for performance.

Example: Adding lyrics or editing our music into a track for sale on iTunes, or for live performance, is a copyright infringement.

However, you may use our sound effects in a music track or performance.

Unfortunately, we do not allow our music to be sold or redistributed separately as an OST or as part of any multimedia templates in games, websites, etc. View Terms of Use.

If you'd like to include our music in your game's OST, we suggest adding an in-game Jukebox that lets players unlock and replay soundtracks or cutscenes at any point in the game. 😊

Using our music synchronized within the game and selling the video game commercially is not a problem as long as the buyers do not have access to our music or sound effects in standalone elements.

However, we understand that, due to the nature of certain game engines, video games are distributed in a folder that includes music, sound effects, art, and other assets needed to run the game. In this case, it's fine, so don't worry too much about it :)

No, you do not own the music you purchase. The copyright to the music remains the property of WOW Sound/the composer. Purchasing a license only allows you to use the music to sync to your projects and purposes in accordance with the license agreement.

Yes, you can; the license will then belong to your client, and the license terms still apply, depending on the license purchased.

No. None of our music/SFXs can be used in logos or be trademarked. If you would like to use it in logos, please write to us at service@wowsound.com.

Yes. Our license permits usage of the music and sound effects in personal or commercial projects for yourself, your clients or your employer. WOW Sound music and sound effects may not be sold by themselves, transferred, bartered, traded, shared, leased, or given away to any other party, and the license may not be subleased to a third party.

Please see our terms of use for further information.

Yes, you can! It's not a problem at all. Be sure to review each store's End User License Agreement (EULA) to ensure you use the assets in accordance with its terms.

Yes, you can transfer the license. Just ensure that any employee who leaves the company no longer has a copy of the music or sound effects.

There is no expiry date as long as you use the licenses in accordance with the restricted usage terms. 

No, you will not! Our music is DMCA-free, copyright-safe, and not registered with any content ID. You can be assured that there won't be copyright issues forcing your players to remove their gameplay footage with our music or sound effects, or have their audio muted.

No, they do not. If you purchase a license from another asset store, you must follow that asset store's EULA. If you purchase any music or sound effects on the WOW Sound site, you agree to our license terms here on our site.

You will only need a cue-sheet when you are using music for a production that is to be publicly performed on a television network, radio station, theatrical release (e.g. films or videos). The cue-sheet is usually prepared by producers or the licensor of the production.

Please remember to include a detailed listing of each piece of music used. Include the names of the music composer, the type of usage of the music, the length of the music, and the title of each music track on the cue-sheet.
