Sound effect licensing — common questions

Is "Battering Ram Gate Impact" free to use commercially?
Yes. "Battering Ram Gate Impact" is free for commercial and personal use under the BudgetPixel Audio Content License — monetised YouTube videos, podcasts, games, apps, ads, streams, films and client work are all covered, with no fees, royalties or subscription. The one limit is redistribution: you cannot resell or re-upload the file as audio itself, on a stock site, in a sample pack, as a dataset, or anywhere the audio is the product.
Do I have to credit BudgetPixel to use "Battering Ram Gate Impact"?
No. Attribution is never required for this sound effect, and downloading it needs no account. A credit is welcome but it is not a condition of the licence.
What format and length is "Battering Ram Gate Impact"?
"Battering Ram Gate Impact" runs 3.5 seconds and downloads as WAV at 44.1 kHz, with MP3 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 "Battering Ram Gate Impact" in a monetised YouTube video?
Yes. Monetised video is explicitly permitted. BudgetPixel does not register library audio with Content ID, so this sound effect will not trigger a copyright claim against your upload — and you may not register it with any content-identification system yourself.
