I've always dreamed of having my own soundboard as a GM to use during our sessions, so I decided to make one myself! It’s currently a work in progress, but feel free to check it out here (works best on desktop in the Chrome browser): https://oraora.nl/GoblinGrooves/index.html

I'm looking for more inspiration for sounds to add. Are there any sounds you think would be great additions, or are essential to add?

Here are the sounds included so far:

Sound FX:

Forest ambiance
Cave ambiance
Water waves
Howling wind
Thunder and rain
Crackling fire
Town ambiance
Tavern ambiance
Knocking
Creaking door
Boiling potion
Wolf howl
Monster growl
Explosion
Sword unsheathing
Laser gun shot
Gun shot
Rapit fire gun
Lighting strike
Wilhelmscream
Horse running
Trumpet announcement
Phone ringing
Energy charge
Sinister cackle
Heartbeat
Magic sparkles
Siren

Music (3 different sets for each type):

Calm music
Festival music
Battle music
Scary music

I make sure only to use music and sounds labeled as Creative Commons 0 or free to use for non-commercial purposes.

Any suggestions for additional sounds or feedback on the website would be very welcome!

Do people really use these kind of sound board for their game ?

A part of me is like Cool I need that and a part of me is more like this is a big immersion killer so curious to get feedback of people who would use that. Is it just a fun stuff for the Lol ? or can you use SFX on a way which bring something to the game ?

They are great for ambient noise based on the surroundings. You can also do one or two 'instant' sounds like a large door booming. Any more than that and it starts to feel like a radio dj testing all the fart sounds in their mixer.
