Magic Sound Effects

WOW Sound offers two license tiers for sound effects:

Pay-per-track (One-time purchase):

• Common — Covers video games only. License is permanent and does not expire.
• Rare — Covers any content type including games, trailers, YouTube, and social media. License is permanent.
• Legendary — Same coverage as Rare with extended team usage of up to 5 users. License is permanent.

Subscription (Monthly or annual plan):

• Creator — For solo devs & creators. 29 tracks/month, personal projects, 1 monetized social channel.
• Pro — For freelancers & small teams. 39 tracks/month, client work allowed, 3 monetized social channels.
• Business — For companies & agencies. 49 tracks/month, client work allowed, 5 monetized social channels.

Projects released while your subscription is active remain permanently licensed, but this does not give you a permanent license to tracks you downloaded but did not use in a released project.

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.

Yes. All sounds are DMCA-safe and not registered with Content ID. You won't receive copyright claims on YouTube, Twitch, or TikTok regardless of which license tier you purchase.

No. When players stream or record gameplay featuring your game, they are already covered under your license. No safelisting, no dispute management, and no separate subscription required for your players — this applies to all license tiers.

Yes — pay-per-track licenses cover unlimited 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/

All packs include WAV and OGG formats (pack purchases only) with UCS metadata embedded. Compatible with Unity, Unreal, Godot, FMOD, and Wwise. WAV/OGG is recommended for looping sounds — MP3 is not suitable for seamless loops.

Absolutely. You can tweak pitch, layer sounds, or combine them with other audio – we encourage customization to fit your project's needs.

Even if you modify the content significantly so that it no longer sounds like the original, the copyright remains with WOW Sound. Modified content is therefore still subject to the same license and cannot be copied, redistributed, or resold as a standalone asset.
