The one condition is the credit: “Anxious Fast Heartbeat” by BudgetPixel AI (https://budgetpixel.com/sfx/anxious-fast-heartbeat-d4d7fe5f) — CC BY 4.0
- Do I have to credit BudgetPixel to use "Anxious Fast Heartbeat"?
- Yes — crediting BudgetPixel AI is the one condition of the licence, and downloading still needs no account. Put the credit line from this page wherever your project lists sources: a video description, end credits, show notes, or a game's credits screen.
- What format and length is "Anxious Fast Heartbeat"?
- "Anxious Fast Heartbeat" runs 3.9 seconds and downloads as MP3 at 44.1 kHz, with WAV on the same download button. Both formats carry the identical licence, so pick whichever your editor prefers — WAV for layering and pitch work, MP3 when file size matters.
- Can I use "Anxious Fast Heartbeat" in a monetised YouTube video?
- Yes. Monetised video is explicitly permitted. BudgetPixel never registers library audio with Content ID, and because this sound effect is licensed to everyone non-exclusively under CC BY 4.0, no one can hold the exclusive rights Content ID requires. If a claim ever appears, dispute it and cite this page and its licence.
