How to make a sound effect

1

Describe the sound

Say what makes the sound, where it is and how it should feel: "rain on a tin roof at night, close and calm".

2

Pick a length

Auto lets the AI choose. Or set 2 to 22 seconds, and turn on Loop for ambience that repeats without a seam.

3

Download the MP3

Play it back, try another take if you want a variation, and drop the file into your editor or game engine.

AI Sound Effect Generator FAQ

You describe a sound in plain English and the model generates it from scratch, so every result is new rather than pulled from a library. Generation usually takes 5 to 15 seconds and you get an MP3 file.
