Sound effects from a text description

The generator creates sound effects from a description — thunder, footsteps, city noise, a UI click or a sci-fi blaster — using ElevenLabs Sound Effects v2. Descriptions in other languages are translated to English automatically.

Set a duration from 0.5 to 22 seconds and switch on seamless looping for background sounds in games and video. Prompt influence controls how literally the model follows your words. Results are MP3.
