Frequently Asked Questions


Can I use your horror music and SFX in a commercial game? +

Yes. All WOW Sound music and SFX are licensed for commercial use. Music licenses are based on revenue tier — the Common License covers projects earning under $100K. SFX licenses are user-based — Common covers game projects (1 user), Rare covers broader media use (1 user), and Legendary covers all media for up to 5 users. See our Pricing page for the full breakdown.

Should I buy a pack or subscribe? +

If you need specific horror packs, a one-time purchase gives you a permanent license with no recurring cost. A subscription (Creator, Pro, or Business) gives you access to the full catalog including all horror music and SFX — best if you need a variety of audio across multiple projects. Projects released under an active subscription stay licensed permanently even after cancelling.

Is your horror audio DMCA-safe for streamers and Let's Play videos? +

Yes. All horror music and sound effects are DMCA-safe and not registered with Content ID. Players who stream or upload gameplay footage will not face copyright claims or audio mutes — no extra license needed on their end.

What types of horror sound effects are included? +

Jumpscares, ghost and haunting sounds, screams, bone cracking, eerie ambiences, Halloween sounds, spooky music stingers, and gore SFX. All available as WAV and OGG — ready for Unity, Unreal, Godot, FMOD, and Wwise.

Can I use the same horror pack across multiple games? +

Yes. One-time pack purchases are permanently licensed across unlimited games and projects. For subscription licenses, audio can be used in any project while your subscription is active — and any project released during an active subscription remains licensed permanently even after cancelling.

Can I test the audio before purchasing? +
