# Search TikTok sounds

**Sound search** finds TikTok sounds by song, artist or sound name, the same way the Sounds search works in the TikTok app. Use it to find every version of a song on TikTok, including fan uploads, sped-up edits and the official release, and open any of them in Pulse.

## Search for a sound

1. In the left menu, open **All apps** and choose **Sound search**.
2. Type a song title, artist name or phrase from a sound, for example "night bus juniper vale".
3. Click **Search sounds**.

Searching can take a moment. You'll see "Searching TikTok for…" while it runs. Searching doesn't use a Pulse scan.

## Read the results

Each row shows:

* The sound's title (click it to open the sound on TikTok) and who uploaded it, with its length.
* **Original sound** (uploaded by a creator) or **Non-original sound** (released music).
* **DSP linked** when TikTok links the sound to the song on streaming services, or **No DSP link returned**.
* **Contains matched music** when TikTok has matched the audio to a released song.
* The number of videos on that one sound.

## Filter and sort

* **All sound types** / **Original sounds** / **Non-original sounds**
* **All DSP statuses** / **DSP linked** / **No DSP link returned**
* **TikTok order** or **Most videos**

Filters apply to the results already loaded. Click **Load more sounds** at the bottom to load more.

## Next steps

* Click **Analyze in Pulse** to scan a sound and see its full data and trend. This uses a TikTok scan.
* Click the copy icon to copy the sound's link.

## Common questions

### Why are the counts lower than in the TikTok app?

Each count belongs to one sound. TikTok's app can add up videos across all the sounds for a song. Open a result in Pulse to see a combined total where one is available.

### Why do I get different results each time?

Results come from TikTok and can vary over time and by region. The results are a sample, not a complete list of every sound.

### I don't see Sound search in my menu

It's available on plans that include Pulse.
