Do I have to credit BudgetPixel to use "Vending Machine Drop Thunk"?

What format and length is "Vending Machine Drop Thunk"?
"Vending Machine Drop Thunk" runs 3 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 "Vending Machine Drop Thunk" in a monetised YouTube video?
