Sample OGG Files — Download Ogg Vorbis Test Audio
Ogg Vorbis · .ogg, .oga · MIME type audio/ogg
Download a sample OGG file — Vorbis audio in the Ogg container, the open, patent-free format that game engines, Wikipedia and open-source projects standardised on before Opus arrived. Firefox and Chrome play it natively; Safari added support only in version 17 (2023) on macOS.
Ogg Vorbis at quality 5 is comparable to a 160–192 kbps MP3 and slightly smaller. If your product ships audio to Linux users, game clients or older Android devices, it is worth confirming that OGG uploads are accepted and OGG playback works.

Frequently asked questions
OGG vs Opus — which should I use?
Opus, for anything new. It is also from Xiph, also patent-free, and beats Vorbis at every bitrate, especially for speech. Vorbis remains relevant for compatibility with existing game engines and tooling.
Are these OGG files safe to download?
Yes. Every file is generated by our own open script from scratch — nothing is scraped or user-uploaded — and contains no scripts, macros or executables. The SHA-256 of each file is published on this page so you can verify what you received.
Can I use the sample OGG files commercially?
Yes. They are free for any purpose, including commercial products, test suites, demos and redistribution, with no attribution required. There is nothing to license and no one to ask.
Can I hotlink these files or use them in CI?
Yes. Every link is a stable direct URL over HTTPS with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * and long cache headers, so curl, wget, fetch() and test runners can pull them directly. A JSON index of every file is linked from each page (see the command-line section).

Uploads, conversions, previews, document processing and media workflows are the kind of production systems Pine & Birch designs and runs for clients — which is why we needed these files in the first place.
