Audio can be helpful, but it's not a guaranteed fix. I recommend using popular audio tracks as they can boost your chances of getting noticed.

Why? Instagram tends to promote content with certain sounds, especially if they fit your niche. Plus, when audios go viral, many users listen to them, explore more reels, and might find your content along the way.

So, how do you find these viral audios? Some people who share Instagram growth tips also share info about trending sounds. Alternatively, scroll through your feed. If you notice an audio used in multiple reels, click on it to see how many reels feature it.

While there's no specific "best" number, aim for audios with fewer than 100k reels—they still have room to grow. Also, look for audios with lots of reels created daily, indicating potential virality.

In simple terms, a viral audio is one you see often as you scroll. Finding them is easy: scroll, spot repeated audios, and start using them in your content. When browsing the reels category, look for the up arrow on the bottom left—it indicates trending audio.
