Create high-quality sound effects from text descriptions.

Features

  • Text to Audio - Describe any sound and get professional-quality audio
  • Precise Control - Set exact duration (0.5 to 30 seconds) or let it auto-detect
  • Prompt Influence - Balance between literal interpretation and creative variation
  • Audio Preview - Listen before downloading the MP3

Tips for Best Results

Simple Effects

Use clear, concise descriptions for basic sounds:

  • "Glass shattering on concrete"
  • "Heavy wooden door creaking open"
  • "Thunder rumbling in the distance"

Complex Sequences

Describe multi-part sound effects as a sequence:

  • "Footsteps on gravel, then a metallic door opens"
  • "Wind whistling through trees, followed by leaves rustling"
  • "Sword being drawn, then clashing with another blade"

Audio Terminology

These terms can enhance your prompts:

  • Impact - Collision sounds, from subtle taps to dramatic crashes
  • Whoosh - Movement through air effects
  • Ambience - Background environmental sounds
  • Braam - Big, brassy cinematic hit for dramatic moments
  • Drone - Continuous textured sound for atmosphere

Use Cases

  • Game Development - UI sounds, environmental audio, character actions
  • Video Production - Foley, ambient sounds, transitions
  • Podcasts - Intro/outro sounds, scene transitions
  • Music Production - Unique samples, textures, one-shots

Create and download a game sound effect

  1. Describe the source of the sound and the action: a metal latch clicking shut is more specific than “door sound.”
  2. Set the duration to match the event. A button click needs less time than a forest ambience bed.
  3. Generate, listen, and adjust the description. Download the MP3 when it fits the scene.

For a pickup sound, try “A short bright electronic chime, rising pitch, one clean note, no speech or background music.” For ambience, try “Gentle wind moving through pine trees, distant birds, no footsteps or voices.” These are example prompts you can adapt.

Can I use the result as a loop?

Listen across the join before repeating an ambience clip. Generated audio may need trimming or a crossfade to remove a noticeable start or finish. Test it at gameplay volume so it does not cover dialogue or other cues.

How do I use the MP3 in my game?

Import it into your engine's audio asset system and trigger it from the relevant action. Test overlapping playback for frequently repeated events such as footsteps. For a musical score instead of a one-shot sound, use the music generator. See game audio resources for more options.
