Download free sound effects for Discord

Discord, first launched in 2015, was designed as a way for PC gamers to easily communicate with each other while playing. Eight years on, it’s one of the biggest instant messaging platforms on the internet. Users can communicate via voice calls and video calls, text messaging, media, and files, both in private chats or as part of communities called “servers”.

Whatever your reasons for using Discord, chances are you may have noticed the ability to install and use all kinds of custom Discord sound effects to respond and react to messages. This “Soundboard” feature for Discord SFX first appeared in April 2023 and has been a big hit over the past few months, with users able to tailor their Discord sound effects to very niche, inside humor and memes that are only relevant to or understood by people on that specific server. 

Now, you can download a free SFX pack from Artlist to use on Discord. Whether you want to react with laughter, a long aww, or something else. Check out the free pack and download it to start communicating with sound effects on Discord.
