Free Scratch Sounds — Cleared CC0 for Commercial Use

Yes. Every scratch sound here is CC0 — cleared for commercial use in music, video, games, and any project, with no attribution and no clearing required.

What does CC0 mean for these scratch sounds?

CC0 (Creative Commons Zero) means the creator waived all rights, so the sound is effectively public domain. You can use, edit, and redistribute it freely, even commercially, without crediting anyone.

How are the scratch sounds matched?

Each bucket is built by CLAP audio-similarity — sounds are matched to the "scratch" vibe by how they actually sound, not by tags, so you get genuine scratch character instead of mislabeled filler.

* What “cleared” means. Every sample starts from material that's already free to use:

Public domain — copyright has expired or never applied, so the work belongs to everyone.
CC0 — the creator waived all rights, effectively placing the work in the public domain.
CC-BY — the creator allows commercial use as long as you credit them (your certificate shows who and how).

On top of that licensing foundation, every sample is also screened against 150M+ commercial recordings by audio fingerprinting — the same core technology behind Shazam — to catch anything mislabeled, and ships with a certificate logging the source, license, and screening result. That's two independent signals: free at the source, and no match to a known commercial release. Strong, verifiable evidence — not a legal guarantee; you remain responsible for confirming rights before commercial release. See our Terms.

Hey — Selekt is still being built.
