Classroom Soundboard
This free classroom soundboard puts the sounds teachers use most on big buttons: correct, wrong, timer tick, countdown beeps, drum roll, applause and a fanfare. Press Full screen to fill a projector or smartboard.
No sounds match. Try another word or category.
Set up in ten seconds
Open this page, press Full screen, and click each button once before the lesson so the sounds are ready to go. There is no account and nothing to install, and the page does not collect anything about your students. Press Escape to leave full screen.
Ideas for using it
Use the countdown beeps and timer tick for timed tasks, the correct ding and wrong buzzer for quiz rounds and spelling games, and applause or the fanfare to celebrate finishing a project. A soft doorbell or notification chime makes a friendly "time to line up" cue that is gentler than a shout.
Hotkeys let you run the board from the keyboard while you walk around: each button shows its key, and Space stops everything.
Make a class-specific board
Want only five buttons, with your own names and colours? Build one on the make your own soundboard page. A class recording or a school bell sound you own can be added from your files; it stays on that computer and is never uploaded.
Questions people ask
Is this soundboard safe to use with students?
The sounds are original and kid-friendly, there is no sign-up and no chat. Students are not asked for any information.
How do I show it on a projector?
Press the Full screen button on the board. It enlarges the buttons and hides the rest of the page. Press Escape or Exit full screen to return.
Why is there no sound from the classroom computer?
Check the device volume and that the projector or speakers are the selected output. Click one button first: browsers only start audio after a click or key press. On a tablet, check the silent switch too.
Are these sounds free to use in videos and streams?
Yes. Every built-in sound is original synthesis released under CC0 1.0, so you can use it in videos, streams, games, lessons and commercial projects with no payment and no credit. See the sound licence.
Can I use my own school bell or class jingle?
Yes. Add the file on the make-your-own page. It is stored only on that device, up to 5 MB per file.
