Free-to-use sound effects, video production materials: screams, fear, multiple voices, male
These are also free sound effects that can be reused for games and the like.
You can hear screams from multiple adult men, but each scream is somewhat lacking in acting quality, giving the overall impression of mild fear.
Possible uses might include scenes where many people are in a state of confusion.
Copyright-free, commercially usable [sound effect]: woman’s scream
![Copyright-free, commercially usable [sound effect]: woman’s scream](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sOOjj97Twkk/hqdefault.jpg)
It’s a very low-pitched scream for a woman and could likely be used as the scream of a middle-aged or elderly woman.
The acting is excellent, and even a brief listen evokes a strong sense of fear.
However, the sound quality isn’t good and it suffers from clipping.
Copyright-free, commercially usable sound effects: child scream
This work features the recorded screams of a very small child.
It gives such a young impression that you might even think it’s a baby crying.
Because of that, using it in horror scenes could amplify the terror to a spine-chilling degree.
It’s copyright-free, so it seems suitable for a variety of uses.
Little Girl Scream sound Effect (muffled)
We have recorded the screams of a teenage girl.
Naturally, a woman’s scream is much higher-pitched than a man’s, so it also has the effect of unsettling the audience.
It seems like it could be used not only in scenes that call for screams, but also as a way to depict panic scenes and the like.
Girl scream sound effect
Rather than a fear that creeps up on you, this scream sound effect gives the impression of a sudden, unexpected scare.
The voice has a youthful quality that could even suit a child under their teens, and its realism is impressive, making it a great fit for horror games and sound novels.

This is a work that features the recorded screams of Prefectural Assemblyman Nonomura.
Since they were genuine cries in a truly desperate situation, they can be used as sound effects with zero acting.
They might be interesting not only for horror games but also for gag scenes.
