Tips for creating sounds on TikTok

Ready to go viral on TikTok and quit your day job? Of course, there are no guarantees, but here are some tips for creating shareable sounds:

Make it clean. Aim for a clean sound recording with minimal background noise, which can be distracting.
Turn up the volume. Make your sounds loud and clear, so that even if someone is listening to your video over their phone speakers in a crowded place, they'll still get the gist.
Loop it. Keep your audio short, and if it loops seamlessly, even better.
Go viral with creativity. Create something new and unique. Think about what you can bring to the table that's different.
