Sound effect licensing — common questions
- Is "Dry Cloth Scrub" free to use commercially?
- Yes. "Dry Cloth Scrub" 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: “Dry Cloth Scrub” by BudgetPixel AI (https://budgetpixel.com/sfx/dry-cloth-scrub-3c0be0f9) — CC BY 4.0
- Do I have to credit BudgetPixel to use "Dry Cloth Scrub"?
- 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 "Dry Cloth Scrub"?
- "Dry Cloth Scrub" runs 3.6 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 "Dry Cloth Scrub" 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.
