If GarageBand samples/loops can be extracted/isolated from your audio work in full or in part, the result is not fully yours to relicense, burdened by Apple's restrictions, that are incompatible with any license available on Freesound.
G. GarageBand Digital Materials.

All licenses on Freesound allow other to sample your sound (= extract bits and pieces from it). Adding restrictions is not permitted by the licenses.
If an Apple sample or loop can be extracted/isolated from your track, can't be properly CC0/CC-BY/CC-BY-NC licensed.
One might debate that the samples may only be used for music but not for single sound effects, since the license only mentions "soundtracks" as permitted items.
This is similar to Cymatics.fm, though not as bad as Soundtrap or WA Productions.
