Epidemic Sound, which provides a soundtracking subscription service for digital creators to orchestrate their YouTube videos, has significantly expanded its sound effects library.

Following user feedback, the Swedish outfit says it’s increasing the number of sound effects offered from 60,000 to 90,000 -- covering everything from crowd noises to animal sounds to weather to transitional effects, like whooshes. At the same time, the company pledged to add at least 5,000 more new effects every year.

Furthermore, Epidemic says that it has improved its search functionalities surrounding sound effects -- specifically with respect to the metadata behind each effect, including a larger number of more accurate keyword tags -- which will make it easier for creators to locate a pertinent snippet.
