Digging through sound libraries takes time, and something very specific — "heavy boots crunching on snow in a quiet forest" — may not be there at all. The sound effects generator creates the effect from your description.

Describe the sound in plain words: "thunder and heavy rain", "a cat purring", "app notification chime", "busy café ambience". ElevenLabs Sound Effects v2 creates it from scratch, from a short click to 22 seconds of ambience. Set the length — 3, 5, 10 or 22 seconds — or leave it on Auto and the model picks it.

For backgrounds in games and videos, turn on Seamless loop and the sound repeats without a click at the seam. Play the result right on the page and download it. The price depends on length: 3 credits for 10 seconds, and Auto is billed as 10 seconds. If generation fails, you are not charged.

Sound effects generator FAQ

Which language should I write in?+

English works best, but you can describe the sound in your own language — it's translated for the model automatically. The more specific you are — what makes the sound, where, how loud and how close — the better the result.

How long can a sound be?+

Up to 22 seconds. Choose 3, 5, 10 or 22 seconds, or Auto to let the model fit the length to the description. Descriptions can be up to 450 characters.

What is a seamless loop?+

A sound whose end flows into its beginning, so it can repeat without a click — handy for background rain, city noise or engine hum in games and videos.

How much does it cost?+

The price depends on length: 5 seconds is 2 credits, 10 seconds is 3, 22 seconds is 6. Auto costs the same as 10 seconds. If generation fails, you are not charged.
