About this sound
An AI-generated sound effect: “cash register cha-ching”. Quality-checked before listing, free for commercial and personal projects — videos, games, podcasts, apps and client work. No royalties — just credit BudgetPixel AI.
Direct file: MP3 · 44.1 kHz — both WAV and MP3 are on the download button.
Editor's note (6.0/10): The clip includes an unintended harsh mechanical scraping onset before the recognizable cash register chime, violating the clean single event requirement for UI use.

- Is "Cash Register Ching" free to use commercially?
- Yes. "Cash Register Ching" is free for commercial and personal use under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0) — monetised YouTube videos, podcasts, games, apps, ads, streams, films and client work are all covered, with no fees, royalties or subscription. The one condition is the credit: “Cash Register Ching” by BudgetPixel AI (https://budgetpixel.com/sfx/cash-register-ching-677844c5) — CC BY 4.0
- Do I have to credit BudgetPixel to use "Cash Register Ching"?
- 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 "Cash Register Ching"?
- "Cash Register Ching" runs 2 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 "Cash Register Ching" 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.
