# Media folder option

The media folder is where Blockly looks for assets like sounds (e.g. the delete
sound effect) and images (e.g. the trash can). By default, these assets are
downloaded from `https://static.blockly.com/media/`.

If you want to customize any of these assets, such as using a different sound,
or if you want your application to only make HTTP requests to your domain:

1.  Download all of [Blockly's
    assets](https://github.com/RaspberryPiFoundation/blockly/tree/main/media) from GitHub and
    place them in your own media folder.
1.  Replace any assets you want to customize.
1.  Set the `media` property in the [configuration
    options](/guides/configure/configuration_struct#the-options-dictionary)
    to the URL of your media folder. This can be an absolute URL or a path
    relative to the current file.
1.  Deploy your media folder and all of its assets along with the rest of your
    application.
