Music for YouTube videos: what to know
Monetized or not
A personal, non-monetized channel is covered by the free license. Once the channel earns — ads, sponsors, memberships — the video is commercial use and needs a Pro or Premium plan.
Content ID
Sonilo does not register library tracks with Content ID, so the track itself should not trigger a claim. If a claim appears anyway, dispute it and link the track page as your license.
Mix for YouTube
YouTube normalizes playback to about −14 LUFS. Keep music 12–18 dB below your voice, and check it on a phone speaker, where most viewers listen.
Music for YouTube videos: FAQ
Is this music for YouTube videos free?
Yes, for personal projects. Every track downloads free in MP3 and WAV, with no account and no attribution. Commercial use — monetized videos, ads, client work, apps and websites — needs a Sonilo Pro or Premium plan.
Can I use it in a monetized YouTube video?
A monetized channel counts as commercial use, so it needs Pro or Premium. Sonilo does not register library tracks with YouTube Content ID.
Do I need to credit Sonilo?
No. None of the library tracks require attribution, on any plan.
What if I can’t find the right track for YouTube videos?
Describe the one you need — instruments, tempo, mood, length — and generate it with Sonilo’s text-to-music. New accounts get free credits; custom tracks follow your plan’s license.
License
Every file in this library is free to download and use in personal, non-commercial projects — no attribution, no account, no royalties. Commercial use (monetized videos, ads, client work, apps and websites) and distributing the files need a Sonilo Pro or Premium plan. You may not resell or redistribute the files themselves as a stock library.
