# Sound Library

> Browse, upload, and download sound effects for use in Discord voice channels and soundboards.

The sound library is a community-uploaded collection of audio clips you can download and add to your Discord server's soundboard. Sounds are categorized, moderated before publishing, and available for individual download.

## Browsing sounds

Visit [discord.place/sounds](https://discord.place/sounds) to explore the library:

* **Search** — find sounds by name
* **Categories** — filter by tags to narrow down the type of sound you need
* **Sorting** — order by most liked, most downloaded, or newest

Each sound card shows the name, uploader, like count, and download count. Click a sound to open its detail page where you can preview it before downloading.
