Questions

Can I use these elephant sounds in a YouTube video or a paid project?

Yes. Every clip here is CC0, public domain or CC BY, and all of those allow use in monetised videos, podcasts, games, apps and client work, with no fee and no need to ask.

Do I need to give credit for these elephant sounds?

Only for every clip on this page, the ones marked CC BY 4.0. Put the credit line in your description or end credits, for example "African Savanna Elephant, Tuoichen, CC BY 4.0" and "Asian Elephant, Karthik Thrikkadeeri, CC BY 4.0".

Do all elephants sound the same?

No. Each species has its own calls, which is why this page has two of them: African Savanna Elephant and Asian Elephant. If you are trying to name one you heard, start with the species found near you.
