Sample OGG file details
1. Silence (5 seconds)
Size: 3.92 KB
Duration: 5 seconds
Bit rate: 64 kbps
Channels: Mono
Sample rate: 44,100 Hz
Description: A 5-second silent OGG file. Use this as a placeholder, for silence detection testing, for audio padding, or to verify that your web audio player handles OGG files without audible content.
2. Tone test
Size: 137 KB
Duration: 40 seconds
Bit rate: 96 kbps
Channels: Stereo
Sample rate: 44,100 Hz
Description: A frequency sweep generating tones at 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000 Hz. Use this to verify OGG playback accuracy, test the Web Audio API frequency response, and check that Vorbis encoding preserves tonal integrity.
3. Voice recording
Size: 145 KB
Duration: 20 seconds
Bit rate: 64 kbps
Channels: Mono
Sample rate: 44,100 Hz
Description: A clear voice recording at 64 kbps. At this bit rate, Vorbis maintains excellent speech clarity — noticeably better than MP3 at the same rate. Use this for speech recognition testing, podcast player development, and comparing OGG vs MP3 voice quality.
4. Music sample (128 kbps)
Size: 397 KB
Duration: 30 seconds
Bit rate: 128 kbps
Channels: Stereo
Sample rate: 44,100 Hz
Description: An instrumental music clip at standard quality. Compare against the 320 kbps version to test quality detection in your player. At 128 kbps, Vorbis delivers quality comparable to a 160–192 kbps MP3.

5. Music sample (320 kbps)
Size: 897 KB
Duration: 30 seconds
Bit rate: 320 kbps
Channels: Stereo
Sample rate: 44,100 Hz
Description: The same music clip at maximum quality. At 320 kbps, Vorbis is effectively transparent — indistinguishable from the uncompressed source for virtually all listeners. Use this for high-fidelity playback testing and quality benchmarking.

6. Sound effects
Size: 789 KB
Duration: 45 seconds
Bit rate: 192 kbps
Channels: Stereo
Sample rate: 44,100 Hz
Description: A compilation of distinct sound effects. OGG is the standard audio format for game engines like Unity and Godot. Use this to test game audio integration, sound sprite loading, and the HTML5 Audio API or Web Audio API with OGG source files.
7. High quality audio
Size: 1.43 MB
Duration: 1 minute
Bit rate: 256 kbps
Channels: Stereo
Sample rate: 44,100 Hz
Description: A 1-minute audio clip at high quality (256 kbps). Use this for testing streaming playback, buffer management, and audio quality comparison against MP3 and AAC at equivalent bit rates.
8. Long duration (5 minutes)
Size: 5.34 MB
Duration: 5 minutes
Bit rate: 192 kbps
Channels: Stereo
Sample rate: 44,100 Hz
Description: A 5-minute OGG file for testing streaming, seek performance, buffer management, and long-form playback. At 7 MB, this is significantly smaller than the equivalent WAV (~50 MB) or even MP3 (~10 MB), demonstrating Vorbis compression efficiency.

FAQs about sample OGG files
Which browsers support OGG Vorbis?
OGG Vorbis is natively supported in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. Safari added partial OGG support in recent versions but historically lacked it. For maximum cross-browser compatibility, many developers serve OGG as the primary format with MP3 as a fallback using the HTML5 <audio> element’s multiple <source> tags.
How does OGG compare to MP3 in quality?
At the same bit rate, OGG Vorbis consistently delivers better audio quality than MP3. A 128 kbps OGG file sounds comparable to a 160–192 kbps MP3. This efficiency advantage comes from Vorbis using more advanced psychoacoustic modeling than the older MP3 codec. The difference is most noticeable at lower bit rates (64–128 kbps) where MP3 artifacts become more pronounced.
Can I use OGG files in game engines?
Yes — OGG Vorbis is the preferred audio format for many game engines. Unity, Godot, and Unreal Engine all support OGG natively. Its royalty-free license means no per-title or per-unit fees, and its efficient compression keeps game builds smaller than with WAV while maintaining high quality. Our sound effects and music samples are ideal for testing game audio pipelines.
What is the difference between OGG and Opus?
Both use the Ogg container, but they use different codecs. OGG Vorbis is optimized for music and general audio at medium-to-high bit rates. Opus is a newer codec that excels at low-latency communication (voice calls, live streaming) and also performs well for music. Opus is generally considered superior for new projects, but Vorbis has wider legacy support, especially in older game engines and media players.
Can I convert these OGG files to other formats?
Yes. Use FFmpeg, Audacity, VLC, or any audio conversion tool to convert OGG to MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, or other formats. Keep in mind that converting from one lossy format (OGG) to another (MP3) introduces additional quality loss — for the best results, start from a lossless source like WAV or FLAC.
Are these OGG files safe to download?
Yes, all sample OGG files on this page are clean, verified, and free of malware. They are standard audio files containing no executable code.
