NOISEBOLT
Terms
Last updated 9 November 2026
1. Who we are
NoiseBolt is a trading name and asset of QuoteNod Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 17446525, with its registered office at 124 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX ("QuoteNod", "we", "us"). The NoiseBolt software, this website, the NoiseBolt name and logo, and all related intellectual property belong to QuoteNod Ltd.
To contact us, email hello@noisebolt.com.
2. These terms
These terms apply when you download, install or use NoiseBolt, use this website, or buy NoiseBolt Pro. By using NoiseBolt you agree to them. If you don't agree, don't use it.
3. Your licence
We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use NoiseBolt on Windows computers you own or control. You may not sell, rent or redistribute NoiseBolt, remove its notices, or reverse engineer it except where the law allows you to.
The free version has no time limit. NoiseBolt Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription that unlocks extra features in the same app for the NoiseBolt account that pays for it.
4. Pro
Pro is bought on noisebolt.com while signed in to your NoiseBolt account. Our reseller Paddle.com ("Paddle") is the merchant of record: Paddle takes the payment, issues your receipt, handles VAT or sales tax for your country, and renews the subscription at the end of each month or year until you cancel. Paddle's buyer terms also apply to your purchase. Prices shown include tax where it applies.
Unlocking. Sign in to the NoiseBolt app with the same account and Pro turns on by itself. The app keeps a signed Pro key that lasts until the end of the time you've paid for, so Pro keeps working offline.
Cancelling. Cancel at any time on your account page (Manage or cancel). Pro keeps working until the end of the period you've paid for, then stops; your sounds, settings and the free features stay. There's no cancellation fee.
Price changes. If the price goes up, you'll be told by email before your next renewal at the new price, so you can cancel first.
Under 18s. You need to be 18 or over, or have a parent or guardian's permission, to buy Pro. A parent can buy Pro for your account.
Refunds and your rights. You can get a full refund within 14 days of any Pro payment, including renewals, without giving a reason. Our refund policy explains how, through Paddle or by emailing hello@noisebolt.com. If Pro doesn't work as described and we can't fix it, you're also entitled to a repair, replacement or refund. Nothing in these terms affects your legal rights as a consumer.
5. Your sounds and recordings
NoiseBolt plays files you choose. You are responsible for having the right to use and broadcast any sound you add, download or record. Only record other people where you have their permission and the law allows it. Don't use NoiseBolt to harass people, to break the rules of the services you play it into, or to break the law.
6. The NoiseBolt community
The community at noisebolt.com/community and in the app lets players share sounds and original music, vote, and comment. Anyone can listen and download. To vote you need a NoiseBolt account, which you make with an email address and password and can only make if you are 13 or over. To share or comment you also join: you choose a display name and agree to these rules.
Only share what is yours. You may only share a sound you made yourself or have the right to share. Music must be your own original work, written and recorded by you. Songs, covers, remixes, samples or extracts of anyone else's music are not allowed, even if you don't make money from them and even if they are short. The UK has no general "fair use" rule, and not earning money from a copy doesn't make it lawful.
What isn't allowed: anything illegal; anything that sexualises or endangers a child; terrorist content; content encouraging suicide, self-harm or eating disorders; hate or abuse about who someone is; bullying, threats or harassment; sexual content; graphic violence; anyone's personal details; sounds made to hurt hearing; spam and scams; and pretending to be someone else, including NoiseBolt staff. Mark anything meant for adults, such as swearing, as mature. The same rules apply to comments and display names.
Checks. Before anything is shared, the app checks it on your PC: its length and size, whether it sounds like music (music can only go under Original music), and whether it matches anything already removed for copyright. Checks can miss things, so you stay responsible for what you share.
Reporting. Anyone can report a share or comment with the Report button, without signing in, or by emailing hello@noisebolt.com. We don't tell the person reported who reported them. Reports of the most serious harms (child safety, terrorism, other illegal content, suicide and self-harm) hide the item straight away until a moderator has checked it, and anything reported by three different people is hidden the same way. If you own the rights to something shared without your permission, report it as copyright with how to reach you, or email us a link and proof that it's yours, and we will remove it.
Moderation. Our moderators may hide or remove anything that breaks these rules, and may ban an account that breaks them seriously or repeatedly. Banned accounts can't share, comment or vote, and what they shared stops showing. Music removed for copyright is added to a list so the same recording can't be shared again. Every moderation decision is recorded.
Complaints and appeals. If you think we removed something or banned you by mistake, or that we didn't act on a report, email hello@noisebolt.com with a link and what happened. Someone who wasn't involved in the first decision will look at it and reply, normally within 14 days.
Shares nobody downloads. If nobody downloads a share for 3 months, you'll get a notice in the NoiseBolt app and on your account page. Press Keep to save it for another month; if you don't, it's deleted 7 days after the notice. Any download starts the 3 months again. Keep your own copy of anything you share.
What you allow. You keep ownership of what you share. You allow us to store it, show it on our website and in the app, and allow other people to download it and play it through NoiseBolt, including into voice chats and streams, without paying you. You can delete a share at any time from your account page; copies people have already downloaded stay on their computers.
Your account. Keep your password to yourself; you're responsible for what's done with your account. You can download your data or delete your account at any time from your account page. See the privacy policy for what we keep.
7. Other software
NoiseBolt plays through VB-Cable, free virtual audio software made by VB-Audio Software, which you install separately under its own licence. NoiseBolt also works with Discord, Stream Deck, Touch Portal, TeamSpeak, OBS and other products that belong to their owners. We don't control them and they aren't affiliated with us.
8. Updates
NoiseBolt is free on the Microsoft Store, which keeps it up to date; a copy downloaded from our website offers to install new versions itself. We may change or remove features over time. If we take away a Pro feature that was a main reason you subscribed, you can cancel and ask for a refund of the month you are in.
9. Our responsibility to you
We build NoiseBolt with care, but we provide it as it is, and we can't promise it will work with every computer, device, game or chat app. To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for loss of data, loss of profit, or losses we couldn't reasonably have foreseen. If we are found responsible for a loss, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us for NoiseBolt in the 12 months before the loss, or £20 if you paid nothing. Nothing here limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law doesn't let us limit.
10. Ending your licence
You can stop using NoiseBolt and uninstall it at any time. We may end your licence if you seriously break these terms. We may also close a community account under section 6. Sections 1, 5, 6, 9 and 11 continue after that.
11. Law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland, Northern Ireland or another country, you can also bring a claim in your local courts and keep the protections your local law gives consumers.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. If a change matters to you as a Pro subscriber or community member, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect.
