AI sound effect generator
An AI sound effect generator turns a short text prompt into a usable sound effect: footsteps, whooshes, UI clicks, and similar Foley for video, games, or posts. On Artgen you open Create, choose sound effects, and generate from text in the same workshop as image and video.
What you can make
Write a scene or action in plain language. The AI sound effect generator returns short event sounds you can drop into a cut, a prototype, or a post.
Short-video Foley
Door slam, crowd murmur, rain on glass under a talking-head cut.
UI and product clicks
Soft button tap, notification chime, toggle click for demos.
Game and interactive cues
Footsteps on wood, coin pickup, whoosh on a menu transition.
Transition and motion accents
Swoosh on a title card, riser into a cut, impact on a logo hit.
Ambient beds (short)
Room tone, distant traffic, café murmur under B-roll.
How it works
Describe the sound
Name the action, material, and space (for example: “leather boot on wet asphalt, close mic”).
Open Create sound effects
Use Open in Create so you land on text to sound effect in audio mode.
Generate and export
Preview in the workshop, then export audio for your video, game, or post workflow.
Music vs sound effects

| Sound effects (this page) | Music | |
|---|---|---|
| Length / role | Short cues: clicks, impacts, Foley | Songs, melodies, longer beds |
| Typical ask | text to sound effect | text to music |
| Artgen entry | Create → sound effects | Create → music |
Looking for songs instead? Text to music
Questions
What is an AI sound effect generator?
An AI sound effect generator creates short sound effects from a text prompt: footsteps, whooshes, UI clicks, and similar Foley. On Artgen it runs as text to sound effect inside Create, next to image and video.
Is this the same as text-to-speech or AI audio for voiceover?
No. This page is for sound effects and Foley. Spoken voiceover and TTS are a different job; use the mode that matches the output you need.
Can I use AI SFX in video?
Yes. Generate in Create with sound effects, export the audio, then place it on your timeline or pair it with Artgen video tools when you are building the picture in the same workshop.
AI SFX vs AI music: which should I open?
SFX are short event sounds. Music is longer songs or beds. For songs, open Text to music. For clicks, Foley, and hits, stay on this AI sound effect generator page.
