Record scratch sound effect free download — 9 sounds, one tap to play
A record scratch is the classic DJ "reeeek" sound that stops the music dead — perfect for a funny stop, a wrong answer, a reaction cut, or a scene change that needs a punch. This page has 9 different kinds of scratch and transition sounds — record scratch, tape stop, rewind, fast forward, cut slice, glitch, flash transition, reverse cymbal and slide whistle — and every single one is different — one perfect sound of each kind. All sounds on this page are original, made on your device — not copied from Pixabay or any sound library — and free to use in your DJ cuts, funny Reels, reaction videos, transitions, flashbacks, time-lapse edits and YouTube videos, even commercial ones. No signup, no attribution needed.
