Sample sound is located here https://freesound.org/people/serop2012/sounds/169458/

1. Am I allowed to use it in my song (with highlighting the author in credits) which will be placed on youtube, spotify?
2. If I need author's consent - is it ok to get this on my inbox at my freesound's profile?
3. may I shorten the sound, adapt it to my song?

It's almost perfect smile

Just add the title of the sound and then it's great. Unfortunately, this sound has quite a long title

Also, a little tip: You can get a short version of the URL on the sound's details page, on the right hand side where the sharing options are.
