If you’ve found a song, voiceover, or trending audio you want to use later, you may be wondering: how do you save TikTok sounds? TikTok makes it easy to save audio to your Favorites, allowing you to quickly find and use it in future videos.
Whether you’re saving trending music, funny voice clips, or original creator sounds, this guide will show you the different ways to save TikTok sounds and access them later.
Can You Save Sounds on TikTok?
Yes. TikTok lets users save sounds to their Favorites.
Once a sound is saved, you can:
- Use it in your own videos
- Find it quickly later
- Keep track of trending audio
- Build a collection of your favorite sounds
Saving a sound does not download it to your phone—it simply adds it to your TikTok Favorites.
Method 1: Save a Sound From a TikTok Video
This is the most common method.
Step 1: Open TikTok
Launch the TikTok app and find a video with the sound you want to save.
Step 2: Tap the Sound
Tap the sound title at the bottom of the video or the spinning record icon on the right side of the screen.
This opens the sound’s dedicated page.
Step 3: Tap Add to Favorites
Tap Add to Favorites.
TikTok will save the sound to your account.
How to Find Your Saved Sounds
After saving a sound:
- Open TikTok.
- Tap the + (Create) button.
- Tap Add Sound at the top of the screen.
- Open the Favorites tab.
You’ll see all the sounds you’ve saved.
How to Use a Saved Sound
To create a video with one of your saved sounds:
- Open TikTok.
- Tap the + button.
- Tap Add Sound.
- Open Favorites.
- Select the saved sound.
- Record or upload your video.
- Edit and post as usual.
Can You Save Original Sounds?
Yes.
If another creator has uploaded an original sound and it’s available for use, you can save it just like music from TikTok’s library.
Simply open the sound page and tap Add to Favorites.
Keep in mind that some original sounds may become unavailable if the creator deletes the video or changes its privacy settings.
Can You Download TikTok Sounds?
TikTok doesn’t provide a built-in option to download audio files by themselves.
However, you can:
- Save the sound to your Favorites.
- Save the video containing the sound (if downloads are enabled).
- Use the sound in your own TikTok videos.
Downloading audio separately isn’t supported within the app.
How to Remove a Saved Sound
If you no longer want to keep a sound:
- Open the sound page.
- Tap Remove from Favorites.
The sound will be removed from your saved list but will still be available on TikTok if it hasn’t been deleted.
Why Can’t I Save a Sound?
There are several possible reasons.
The Sound Isn’t Available
Some sounds are removed because of licensing or copyright restrictions.
The Creator Disabled the Sound
Original audio may become unavailable if the creator changes their settings or deletes the content.
You’re Using an Outdated App
Update TikTok to the latest version.
Temporary App Glitch
Restart TikTok and try again.
Tips for Managing Saved Sounds
Save Trending Audio Early
Popular sounds can disappear due to licensing changes, so save them when you find them.
Organize Your Favorites
Regularly remove sounds you no longer plan to use to keep your Favorites organized.
Check Trending Sounds Often
Browse the For You page to discover new audio before it becomes widely used.
Use Sounds That Match Your Content
Choose audio that fits your video’s theme instead of using trending sounds just because they’re popular.
