Custom audio has become a big part of the Roblox experience. Whether you want background music, sound effects, or voice clips, uploading your own audio lets you personalize games and scripts even more. In 2026, Roblox has made the process clearer, but many players still get confused about where to upload files and how to get the Sound ID. This guide explains every step in a simple way, from uploading audio to copying the correct asset ID for use in games.
What You Need Before Uploading Audio
Before starting, make sure you have a Roblox account that can access the Creator features. You also need an audio file that follows Roblox’s supported formats. Accepted file types include MP3, OGG, FLAC, and WAV. If your file is in another format, you will need to convert it first. It is also important to use audio that you own or have permission to upload, since Roblox moderation will review every file.
How to Upload Audio to Roblox
- First, open the official Roblox website and log in to your account. At the top of the page, click the Create button to enter the creator dashboard.
- From there, look at the left-side menu and select Creations. On the right side of the screen, you will see different development item categories.
- Click Development Items, then choose Audio from the list.
- Once you are on the Audio page, click the Upload Asset button. This will open a file selection window.
- Choose the audio file you want to upload from your device.
After selecting the file, give your audio a name. The name can be anything you want, as long as it follows Roblox rules. When everything looks correct, click Upload and wait for the process to finish.
Waiting for Moderation Approval
After uploading, your audio will not be usable right away. Roblox sends all audio through moderation to check for copyright issues and inappropriate content. This can take a short time or sometimes longer, depending on server load. Once moderation is complete and the audio is approved, it will appear fully available in your audio list.
How to Find and Copy Your Roblox Sound ID
- To get the Sound ID, go back to the Audio section in your Development Items. Find the audio you uploaded in the list.
- Click the three-dot menu next to the audio name. From the options, select Copy Asset ID. This number is your Sound ID.
- You can now paste this ID into scripts, Boomboxes, or game settings to play your custom sound inside Roblox experiences.
How to Use Your Audio in Games
With the Sound ID copied, you can use it in Roblox Studio or supported in-game tools. Simply paste the ID where a sound or audio ID is required. This allows your uploaded audio to play during gameplay, events, or interactions.
Uploading audio and creating your own Sound ID in Roblox is straightforward once you know where everything is. By following the correct upload steps, waiting for moderation, and copying the Asset ID, you can quickly add custom sounds to your games or experiences. This small feature can make a big difference in how immersive and unique your Roblox projects feel in 2026.
