How to Name Your Sounds on TikTok

When you upload a video to TikTok without using any of the app's built-in sounds, TikTok creates an audio file in addition to your video file. If you give your TikTok audio file a creative name, other TikTok users may come across it and want to use it in their own videos. This can help make both your sound and your TikTok account more popular. This wikiHow will show you how to name your own sounds on TikTok.

1. Open the TikTok app. It's the black icon with a white music note inside. You can find it on your home screen, in your app list, or by searching.
   
2. Upload a TikTok video containing the sound you want to use. Use the video recorder to record the sound you want to use on TikTok. Once the video is uploaded, you'll be able to change the name of the sound.
   
   • Make sure not to apply any of TikTok's sounds to the video when uploading.
   • If TikTok is able to identify any music playing in the background, your video will be categorized with the other videos with the same music, and you will not be able to name the audio.
   • When you upload the video/sound, you may want to set it to private so that others can't see what you are working on until you are finished.
3. Tap the profile icon. It's the outline of a person at the bottom-right corner. This displays your uploaded videos.
   
4. Tap the video with the sound you want to rename. This plays the video.
   
5. Tap the record icon. It's at the bottom-right corner of the video—look for the record icon containing your profile photo that's surrounded by musical notes.
   
   • If you just uploaded the video, you may have to wait a couple of minutes for the icon to appear.
6. Tap the pencil icon next to "original sound." Your sound is called "original sound" by default, and you'll see that at the top of the page. Tapping the pencil icon allows you to change the sound's name to something else.
   
   • You will only be able to change the name of your sound once, so make sure you choose something you'll want to keep.
7. Type a name for your sound. Tap the typing area to open the keyboard. Be sure not to use a title that violates someone else's intellectual property rights—for example, you wouldn't want to name your sound after a popular artist and song title.
   
8. Tap . It's at the top-right corner. This saves the name of your audio file. You can now use this audio file in any of your videos.
   
   • If you want other people to be able to use your sound in their own videos, the sound's original video will need to be public.
