How to Find Trending Sounds for Instagram
Free Instagram Video Templates to Take Away
Method 1. Scroll, Scroll, Scroll
Scrolling means viewing lots of videos. This is not the best solution if you need a trending audio immediately. Anyway, it is hard to come across the right song. Yet, if you do watch lots of Instagram videos, whether they are from people you follow, or system recommendations, you will know which audio is repeatedly used. If you hear a song more than twice, it is likely a trending audio.
To use audio from other people’s Instagram posts, you should click on the icon next to the audio info. This will bring you to another page, showing you all Instagram posts using the same audio. Click on Use Audio and start editing.
Use Music of Other People's Instagram Post
Method 2. Look for the Trend Icon
Instagram leaves a mark next to the trending audio. If you see a little arrow right next to the music info, then it is a trending song. Click on the icon next to the music info and start to use it. Or, you can search for the music with the music or the artist’s name.
However, music without the arrow icon doesn’t mean it is not a trending audio. It might take some time before Instagram recognizes an audio as trending.
Method 3. Check for Suggestions
While creating an Instagram post, click on the Music icon, Instagram will give you suggestions for trending audio. Sometimes the suggested music doesn’t include the arrow icon, but it would be safe to assume Instagram always recommends the trending audio.
Method 4. Check Creators’ Instagram Account
Following Creators on Instagram is a must if you want to catch up with the latest music trend. Every Friday, Instagram will share the top Instagram trends for all creators.
Besides music, Creator also posts some Instagram tips for you to get more likes and views, including Instagram algorithms.

Method 5. Get Inspired from Other Platforms
There are lots of social media platforms allowing people to share videos with music, for example, TikTok, Facebook. Take TikTok as an example, type in trending songs in the search bar, it will give you a list of trending audios. Even though you can’t use them directly, you can see if you can find the same or similar audio resources, and use them on your Instagram.
Except for social media platforms, some music software are also worth visiting. Open any music software and you will see the Instagram genre. There you go! The hottest audio is only a few clicks away.
