Dummy audio file for testing purposes

1

Are there any audio files that are freely available that can be used as demo sound when posting on here, or coding playgrounds such as jsfiddle, or codepen?

Audio files that are allowed to be hot linked (“direct linked”) and are able to be freely shared.

For testing purposes.

<audio controls>
  <source src="" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>

Here you go: https://developers.google.com/actions/tools/sound-library/

It’s not allowed.

Oh I see. Use freesound in this case.

That’s not good either because those audio files have to be downloaded.

I’m just looking for a direct link that can be used for testing audio in codes.

<audio controls>
  <source src="" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>

And the audio files would need to be no copyright.

I’m just looking for a direct link that can be used for testing audio in codes.

You need to properly grab the link to the sound:

  1. right-click on the button download;
  2. Click on Inspect;
  3. You’ll see the URL to the sound inside <a href="URL">;
  4. Right-click on the URL, then click on Copy link address.

And the audio files would need to be no copyright.

Freesound has a Creative Commons license. That would do enough for testing.
Besides, I don’t know of any material that has the Public Domain Mark 1.0 you mentioned.

These are labeled no copyright

Right, then, for instance, you go here: https://musopen.org/music/3998-cello-suite-no-1-in-g-major-bwv-1007/#recordings

Right-click on the title, then Inspect. You’ll see this:

You’ll need to double-click then copy the URL inside <audio src="">, then paste it in your project.

That would be going against their Terms of Service.

Why is so? That’s 100% legal.

You can even download the audio file, upload it via Google Drive or Dropbox, then reference the link in your project.
