We’re big fans of football here at Soundly, so we’re proud to sponsor the huge stars of Manchester’s own Chorlton New Villa! ⚽️🌟

Big thanks to trainer (and Soundly user) Tim Cockerill. Here’s to goals, fun, and maybe a little ice cream after the match. 🍦

Up the Villa! 🥳

The new Soundly, released today, includes Find Similar, a powerful feature we’ve spent months perfecting. It analyzes any sound and instantly finds others that are just the right amount of different.

And there’s much more in the new update: getsoundly.com

Soundly’s recording artists and sound designers added a whopping 3,141 new sounds in June. She got the number permanently tattooed, a decision she will never regret! It was done in VFX by us, but the dedication still counts… we think!

We recorded some massive stadium chants.

We’re almost certain they contain eternal wisdom, but we can’t decipher them!

We’ve passed it to colleagues, friends, family, even the HR department (our office plant). No luck.

What should we name the file?

When a gentleman asked us for proper British sounds, we didn’t muck about. We brewed a proper cuppa, ate a full English, zipped up our rain jackets, and went on an old nosy round the UK with mics in hand.

It’s all in Soundly, mate!

While in Primm, Nevada, we stumbled upon a short-course off-road race by SNORE—engines, dirt, and tire crunch included.
Though unplanned, it turned into a perfect chance to capture raw, high-quality sounds for the Soundly library.
