PanARMENIAN.Net - Soundcloud music-sharing platform has become increasingly noisy over the past year by adding 4 million registered users in one year, which now brings it to the 5 million user mark. This comes just a few months after the company announced 3 million users, according Mashable news blog.

Soundcloud, which is, reportedly, adding 20,000 registered users per day, has innovated a lot during the past year after launching in 2008.
