I can download some sound effects from this website. Adobe Audition Sound Effects  Is it provided for free? Can I use these in my videos?

Yes, subject to the EULA statement on the right of that page.

Actually I can understand the question.  If you follow the link to the EULAs you get a complex page listing all the various Audition software items separately but with no mention (at least that I can see) of the Sound Effects (or the Loopology music loops for that matter).

However, I can confirm that it's my understanding that the sound effects are available for use in your projects completely royalty free.

As an FYI a site I find very useful for sound effects is Freesound.  Freesound.org - Freesound.org   You have to sign up but it's free and they don't spam you or anything.   You'll even find some of my effects on there, recorded and edited in Audition!  Some of the effects include a request that you credit them at the end of your video but that's a minority.

Lastly, if you are willing to pay a small amount, Sounddogs  Sound Effects Downloads | Sounddogs.com  has the most complete library I know and you pay a relatively small one-off purchase fee with no complicated royaties.

Is there an official adobe contact (email address / phone number) that I can get an official response from?


I don't know of a specific phone number for queries like this--you could try your local customer service number but I suspect the question might not be their specialty.

However, re-reading the EULA, it seems clear that the effects (and loopology music) are free to use in any project.  The only restriction is re-selling them as raw sound effects rather than as part of a production.
