Damn, what's the license on those? Yoink

How does licensing work? Can I use a sound effect from BBC Sound Effects in my YouTube video?/ University project? You can read the terms of the licence here. However, as a general rule, as long as your usage remains non-commercial, you can use sound effects for free, crediting the BBC. If the usage becomes commercial - i.e. if you monetise it, sell it, or charge for access to it, or if it is advertising-funded or commercially sponsored, then that counts as commercial use, and you will need to license the recording from Pro Sound Effects.

You're also not allowed to use the sounds for "offensive purposes," including "anything that would harm the BBC’s reputation," or to promote "tobacco or weapons." Huge eyeroll, this is a lame license.

Here's a crowd of people laughing at this license, hopefully this link counts as violating the spirit if not the text of the license: https://sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk/search?q=07043054
