If people can't use your sound on TikTok, it may be due to your privacy settings. Make sure your account is set to public, and the sound you've created is not marked as private. Additionally, if TikTok detects copyright infringement, it will restrict usage. To enable broader use, create original sounds or ensure you have the rights to share and allow the content you're using. Always double-check your settings and the platform's content guidelines.
