If the sound isn’t called “original sound – yourusername,” you either used a sound you found on TikTok, or TikTok detected music that was playing in the background while you were recording. You won’t be able to rename this sound if this is the case.
If you just uploaded the video, you may have to wait a couple of minutes for the icon to appear.
Use descriptive keywords to make it easy for people to find your sound. For example, if your sound is a bunch of car horns honking, make sure “car horn” and/or “honking” is in the title. If you’re a musician and the sound is one of your own songs, include both the song’s name and your official artist (or band) name in the title. This will make it easy for people to identify the song and maybe even seek out your other music.
To use this sound in a new video, just tap the sound’s new name on the original video and select Use this sound. If you want other people to be able to use your sound in their own videos, the sound’s original video has to be public.
