I've always dreamed of having my own soundboard as a GM to use during our sessions, so I decided to make one myself! It’s currently a work in progress, but feel free to check it out here (works best on desktop in the Chrome browser): https://oraora.nl/GoblinGrooves/index.html

I'm looking for more inspiration for sounds to add. Are there any sounds you think would be great additions, or are essential to add?

Here are the sounds included so far:

Sound FX:

Forest ambiance
Cave ambiance
Water waves
Howling wind
Thunder and rain
Crackling fire
Town ambiance
Tavern ambiance
Knocking
Creaking door
Boiling potion
Wolf howl
Monster growl
Explosion
Sword unsheathing
Laser gun shot
Gun shot
Rapit fire gun
Lighting strike
Wilhelmscream
Horse running
Trumpet announcement
Phone ringing
Energy charge
Sinister cackle
Heartbeat
Magic sparkles
Siren

Music (3 different sets for each type):

Calm music
Festival music
Battle music
Scary music

I make sure only to use music and sounds labeled as Creative Commons 0 or free to use for non-commercial purposes.

Any suggestions for additional sounds or feedback on the website would be very welcome!

Creepy ambiance (maybe 2 vibes, one there's eerie/builds tension and one that's like gothic horror ambiance)
Swamp ambiance (similar to creepy but more of a nature swamp vibe)
Sea shanties/pirate ambiance
Traveling music (think bardcore road trip)
Fire and flames (like a forest fire maybe with music backing, works for Avernus, towns burning down, actual forest fire)
holy ambiance (sounds like I dunno..cleric-y? Like at a cleric's holy site)
I don't know what to title this but library/courthouse/university music ambiance. Like, something that would play in a big library, or when addressing the town council/magistrate/king, or when at a wizard university. Kind of serious and official sounding, does that make sense? -Bandit hideout music (also works for breaking into keeps, guard sheds or even like town guard breakrooms, really anywhere where the rough sorts hang out)
time limit/tense music for time dependent scenes (bomb going to explode, going to be discovered, outrunning a natural disaster, etc)
sneaking around music
Boss music different from regular battle music

That's all I can think of right now but I may edit with more suggestions. Where do you get your open license music and stuff?

Hey thank you for the extensive list of suggestions! I'll add them to the list and try to find open licenses that match them :^) I find most of the sounds on freesound.org and pixabay.com and some from youtube if it has a license that allows sharing

I need some of these for upcoming play so if I find something I'll send it to you. Thanks for showing me where to look!
