How To Find Trending Sounds on TikTok

The best way to find trending TikTok sounds is to type “Trending sounds” into TikTok’s search bar and navigate to the “Sounds” tab. Here, you’ll find an up-to-date list of popular TikTok audios that you could use.

To whittle down your list, click on each sound to view the videos surrounding it and see whether they are a good fit for your business.

How To Find Trending Sounds on Instagram

My top place for finding trending Instagram audios is the Instagram Edits app, which has a whole For You Page-style tab that exclusively shows videos with trending Instagram sounds. Many of these sounds have as little as 50 videos attached to them, meaning you can get involved before the trend gets over-saturated.

While your business doesn’t need to jump on every social media trend, the algorithms love them. Scheduling a handful into your TikTok or Instagram content calendar per month will give your account a visibility boost and increase the likelihood of reaching new people online.
