Show HN: Open-source sound effects and react library to spice up your website

3 lschneider 1 4/30/2025, 12:43:42 PM reactsounds.com ↗
Hi all, I've been using sound effects in a few web-projects lately (mostly for notifications) and it's always a pain to find good sound effects and then handle them in the browser. So, I compiled my learnings into an easy-to-use React library. It currently has ~70 sound effects (MIT licensed) and I'm happy to add more if you have any requests.

PS. the sound effects can of course be used without the React library!

It's broken because it makes no sound on my computer. Oh sorry, it's because I have the sound disabled by default and Flash-websites who make sound have been annoying for more than 20 years.

Good luck on what you're doing though.
