Have you ever tried recording a TikTok sound, only to see “This sound isn’t licensed for commercial use”?
Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Whether you’re a small business, freelancer, or social media manager this is a common struggle. After all, sounds play a massive role on TikTok, so I understand your frustration.
Here’s how you can find trending TikTok sounds that are business-friendly and available for commercial use!
When you find a song click “Use this sound”. If it opens the camera, it’s available for business accounts. If you get a message saying “This sound isn’t available”, then you’re out of luck.
TikTok’s algorithm will naturally show you videos using trending TikTok sounds. What you’ll need to do now is find the ones that are available for commercial use.
Pro Tip: Look at the title of the sound to know if it will be available at a glance. If it's from a popular artist, it's most likely not available for commercial use.
There are accounts dedicated to finding trending TikTok sounds. Some of them won’t be available for commercial use, but majority will.
