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

https://www.reactsounds.com/
21•lschneider•9mo ago
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!

Magma7404•9mo ago
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.

luotuoshangdui•9mo ago
Yeah, it's annoying when websites make unwanted sound.
j45•9mo ago
Agreed. What if it wasn’t an annoying sound, or a background sound?
YousefShanawany•9mo ago
Really nice modern sound effects for websites. Thanks for the share!
lagniappe•9mo ago
You waited for multiple years to post this comment? Something doesn't feel right here.
xingped•9mo ago
Sorry, not trying to rain on your parade, but never in my life have I wanted a website to make sounds at me that weren't a video that I chose to click play on.
j45•9mo ago
Everything doesn’t have to be for everyone.
jflessau•9mo ago
Alright, most people won’t want a significant portion of the web to go 'beep bop'. But the use cases listed on the website (notifications, game sounds) are valid, I think.
j45•9mo ago
Interactive tools could be useful. Wish this only for react :)
bachonk•9mo ago
Thank you for sharing this, I added a few of them to a personal project[0] this morning! Will add a note to the about page to link to your repo
