About Us

99Sounds is an independent sound design label and a free sound effects repository that was launched in 2014 by Tomislav Zlatić, the founder of Bedroom Producers Blog.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide sound effects and sample libraries of commercial quality for free.

Since the label launched in 2014, we have featured free sounds from dozens of talented creators. 99Sounds hosts a variety of free sounds, from cinematic sound effects and drum samples to field recordings and rain sounds.

The Releases page showcases the entire collection of free sound effects available for download on the 99Sounds website. The page is regularly updated with new releases, so it’s worth checking back frequently.

All the sounds hosted on 99Sounds are royalty-free, which means you can use them in your music and video production projects, game development, and other creative endeavors. View full details on our License page.

We released some amazing feedback from our visitors over the years, including messages of support from Darude and Torley.

  • “Went through the sounds, and I think I’ll find some use for at least some of them! Very generous of you to share!” Ville Virtanen, Darude
  • ‘Wow! This is looking really promising. I recently heard of 99Sounds via BPB, and I’ve just downloaded “Rain And Thunder” to use in some granular synthesis experiments.” Torley

We also develop VST plugins. 99Sounds has released three plugins so far, with more plugins coming soon.

  • Sound designer geek with a knack for creating cool music software.

A Bit About Me

Hey there, I’m Tomislav. I’ve always been into cinematic sound design, especially crafting SFX that sounds larger than life.

With a degree in engineering from Belgrade University, I’ve mixed a bit of a tech background and a lot of passion for synthesis and music to carve out my sound design techniques.

I also write about music production software on my main website, Bedroom Producers Blog. I like to keep my articles informative and with a sprinkle of fun.

That is me recording rain sounds in a park.

I also produce music and do a lot of field recording. Most of the sounds I record end up in free sound libraries here on 99Sounds.

Off the clock, you might catch me shooting hoops on a local basketball court, playing tennis, or whipping up a mean smashburger at home.

Learning the Ropes

While I’m proud of my Engineering degree from Belgrade University, I picked up a big chunk of what I know about sound design on my own.

There’s much to be said for diving in headfirst and learning as you go!
