In their own words
SoundBits
SoundBits is a web service offering sound-effects libraries and bundles for multimedia projects. Its free Sound Effects Collection contains 285 files in a 2.1 GB download and includes metadata. These sounds may be used in linear commercial or non-commercial projects. The Starter Pack costs 10.00 EUR once, provides a selection from an original library, and includes a 10€ coupon toward that library. Paid library sounds carry a lifetime, worldwide, royalty-free synchronization license that is non-transferable and non-exclusive. The license covers musical, video game, and multimedia projects without a limit on usage frequency. Files arrive as BWF-tagged WAV, mostly 24-bit/96 kHz. Just Whoosh includes metadata and follows the Universal Category System. One purchaser may use sounds on two same-owner workstations; additional users need licenses. Downloads follow PayPal payment, and downloaded sales are final except at SoundBits’ discretion.
