Hey there! All sounds are sourced from either Pixabay or Freesound, except for the binaural beats, which I created myself. The license for Pixabay doesn't require crediting, while for Freesound, I've only selected sounds with a CC0 license, which also doesn't require crediting.
Sounds good thanks. Just in case other have the same questions, it could be worth considering adding this information somewhere, for instance the Github readme.
Edit: Pixabay license is also not “free”, which means I’m not sure you can apply MIT on top of it. Might be worth stating that the contents of the public folder are under their own licenses, and then listing which are Pixabay, which are CC0, and which are SIL OFL (the fonts).

Could you please specify which part of their license you are referring to?
Just the facts that there are clauses under “What are you not allowed to do with Content?”. They are fine to use in this project of course, but then when the only license mentioned in the root of the repo is MIT, a much more permissive license, it will be assumed that everything in the project repo is under MIT, which isn’t the case. Someone could fork or use sound clips from the project thinking they are under MIT. I’m not a license specialist at all so you might want to double check that, but to be on the safe side, mentioning that the contents of the sound effects folder are under other licenses could be worth?
Thank you for your suggestion. I've just included a license section in the README file. Could you please review it and confirm if this is what you meant?
Great, I think that’s clear :)
The website says “carefully curated” and the Github that everything is placed under MIT, but it feels like some source is missing for all the sounds, and a confirmation that they are for sure under MIT as well.
