This feature notifies the user of the sound playing in the movie (sometimes, if it’s a song, it may also have a musical note icon, but you may have noticed that it’s been a little quieter in recent FYPs).

TikTok sounds can become popular and go viral just like challenges, effects, and filters. With major labels like UMG pulling music from the platform, original sound clips and DIY sounds may be the way to go – and no, don’t upload copyrighted music as original sounds or it will be removed.

Use voice effects, add voiceover, or adjust the speed of your clips.
Step 4: Click the big checkmark and publish your finished video.

Step 7: Click “Use this sound” at the bottom of the screen.
