Generate Sound Effects converts a text prompt into a short audio clip: footsteps, thunder, UI clicks, ambient textures, and more. This node runs on ElevenLabs and consumes credits when it runs.

When to use

  • Adding foley sound effects to video workflows
  • Generating ambient soundscapes for creative projects
  • Producing UI or notification sounds from a description

Inputs

text
required
A description of the sound effect to generate. Required. Supports loop mode.
Inline prompt. You don’t need a separate Text Prompt node for fixed text — type it directly on the node. The inline field appears whenever the text input is unconnected and disappears once you wire a text input in. Connect a Text Prompt node only when you want to drive the text from upstream or expose it as an app input. Type @ to mention a connected input by name — text inputs insert their content into the text, media inputs insert their name.

Outputs

audio
The generated sound-effect clip as an audio file.

Configuration

number
default:0
Duration of the output clip in seconds (0.5 to 30). Set to 0 to let ElevenLabs auto-guess the best duration.
number
How closely the output follows the text prompt (0 to 1). Higher values increase prompt adherence; lower values give the model more creative freedom.
boolean
default:false
When enabled, the output is designed to loop seamlessly.

Example

Connect a Text Prompt node describing the desired sound (e.g. “deep rolling thunder with distant rain”) to the Text input, then wire the Audio output to a Composer node or download it directly.
Pricing is flat per generation ($0.12). See Audio models for supported models and Model settings for available options.
