How to Make Your Own Sounds on TikTok
If you have used TikTok for some time, you must have noticed that some videos may use the same sound even though the content is different. These are sounds that are created by other TikTok users and have become popular and available for other content creators to use.
TikTok sounds that go viral may be in the form of speech, a part of a song with special effects, or even sounds. Creating unique sounds on TikTok that go viral may make you popular as a TikTok user. This piece highlights how you can make your own sounds on TikTok. In a previous article, we discussed how to make a TikTok duet video on Android.
