Free UI sounds for menus: PulseLite free sample, 20 sounds (CC BY 4.0) plus a Godot 4 script (MIT) that adds hover and click sounds to every button in one line. There's a browser demo on the page. The sounds are synthesized in code (procedural DSP, no AI audio); the script and docs were written with AI assistance. https://bigshadex.itch.io/pulselite-ui-sfx-free

Thanks, that's really useful. There's a short preview video near the top of the page already, but it's mostly the sounds played over the menu demo rather than real in-game footage, so I'll take that as a sign it needs proper in-game examples and a clearer list of what's included. Did the video stand out to you when you opened the page, or did it get lost?

Great one, thanks. Stacked sounds on the same frame is probably the most common cause of "mushy" menus, and it's easy to miss because each sound is fine on its own. One event, one sound is going straight into the list.

I make PulseLite, a set of UI and menu sound effects. The free 20-sound sample (CC BY 4.0 sounds, MIT Godot script) is here: https://bigshadex.itch.io/pulselite-ui-sfx-free

It gets about 1,750 impressions a week in browse, but only 0.8% click through. I'd love blunt feedback:

1) Does the cover tell you it's audio for menus?

2) Is the short description clear?

3) On the page, can you tell within 5 seconds what you get and how to try it?

Notes: the sounds are procedural DSP (synthesised in code, not AI audio). The Godot script and page text were written with AI help, and the page's AI disclosure says so.

Thanks, that's a really useful fifth check. Agreed on the hover/confirm gap: if hover is close in level to confirm, fast scrolling buries the one cue that matters. A falling pitch for "error" is a nice trick too, since it reads as "no" even with the screen out of view. Good luck with your set!

Hi all, I'm Russ (Bigshadex). I built one workbook for clients, projects, invoices, part payments and follow-up reminders.

The dashboard shows money owed, overdue, paid in the last 30 days, follow-ups due and a 12-month payments chart. Invoice status (Draft/Open/Part paid/Overdue/Paid) works itself out, and follow-ups are colour-coded. It works in Excel 2019+, Google Sheets and LibreOffice, no macros, any currency.

Honest note: the design and formulas were built with AI assistance, and the key calculations are checked by automated tests. The screenshots use made-up data.

There's a free view-only preview sheet linked on the page.

Hi all! Free 20 UI sounds + OGG for web builds, to give your menus, pause screen and inventory a bit of polish: cursor, confirm, cancel, error buzz, menu open/close, pickup, reward and level-up.

Free pack: https://bigshadex.itch.io/pulselite-ui-sfx-free

Disclosure, since the jam asks for it: the sounds are procedural DSP synthesis, not generative AI (oscillators, filters and noise in code; no samples, no AI audio models). The store pages and the optional Godot/Unity helper scripts were written with AI assistance, so if you'd rather avoid that, use only the WAV/OGG files and skip the scripts.

Good luck escaping the LOOP!

Before adding more sounds to a menu, check whether the current cues communicate what the player just did.

1. Separate intent. Run the same short sequence twice: hover, select, confirm, back, then an invalid action. Listen for cases where confirm, cancel and error could be confused.

2. Balance repetition. At normal game volume, navigate quickly through several buttons. Hover feedback should remain useful without masking a more important confirmation or error. Check repeated navigation as well as a single click.

3. Test input changes. Repeat with the input methods your project actually supports. Listen for missing or doubled feedback when focus moves; do not assume a mouse-only check covers keyboard or controller navigation.

4. Check credits before shipping. Record each sound's source, licence and required attribution in your project's credits. Free resources can still require credit, and a sample's licence may differ from its larger pack.

Write down one specific confusing action before changing the whole sound set. That gives you something useful to compare on the next pass.

Disclosure: I make the PulseLite UI sound packs; this checklist uses no paid material and can be applied with your own sounds. The text was prepared with AI assistance.

Hi! I just released PulseLite, a UI and game-feedback sound pack built so every sound matches the others: loudness-matched, clean fades, no clicks. Your menus, buttons and rewards sound like one game instead of a pile of downloads.

What's in it

- 200 WAVs (44.1 kHz, 16-bit mono), 13 categories with 15-16 variations each: click, hover, toggle, confirm, back/cancel, error, notify, panel open/close, whoosh, coin, reward, level up

- Loudness-matched within each category, so you can drop them in without editing

- index.csv with length and loudness for every file, plus quick-start notes for Unity, Godot, Unreal and web

Try it first: play the menu demo in your browser and grab 20 of the sounds free for commercial use, no signup: https://bigshadex.itch.io/pulselite-ui-sfx-free

Full pack (200 sounds, commercial license): https://bigshadex.itch.io/pulselite-ui-sfx

Coin, reward and level-up lean chiptune, while clicks, hovers and panels are soft and clean, so they suit mobile, casual and menu-heavy games. Happy to hear which categories you'd want added in an update.
