Frequently Asked Questions


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

Yes, all tiers cover commercial use. The Common License covers video games specifically. Rare and Legendary extend to any content type including trailers, YouTube videos, social media, broadcast and radio. The Subscription plan covers most content types while your plan remains active. See full license details →

What's the difference between buying a pack vs subscribing?+

The difference is in how you access the sounds:

  • Pay-per-track
    Purchase individual music tracks / sound effects or themed game audio packs/bundles with a one-time payment. Your license is permanent. This is ideal if you need specific tracks or packs for a project.
  • Subscription plans
    Download a limited number of individual tracks each month (29–49 tracks depending on your plan) from the full catalog. Game audio packs and bundles are not included and must be purchased separately. This is ideal if you need to explore and download tracks from different packs or across multiple projects. Projects released while your subscription is active remain permanently licensed, but this does not give you a permanent license to tracks you downloaded.

All plans include the same high-quality audio files. Choose the plan that best matches your project size, revenue, team, and distribution.

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 — pay-per-track licenses cover unlimited anime projects, with no per-title fees. What determines the tier (Common/Rare/Legendary) is usage type (games only vs. all media) and revenue/user count — not how many games or videos you release.

If you release often, need new tracks monthly, or want access to a wider library without buying per-track, a subscription may cost less — plans include a set number of tracks/month based on your revenue tier. Compare both: https://wowsound.com/pricing/

Can I test the audio before purchasing? +

Yes. Download watermarked OGG previews of any horror track or sound effect to test directly in your game before buying. Visit our Try Before You Buy page to get started.
