- Do I have to credit BudgetPixel to use "Playful Dolphin Surface Splash"?

- "Playful Dolphin Surface Splash" runs 2.5 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.
