AI Sound Effect Generator

An AI sound effect generator creates audio effects from a written description — a phone buzz, a metal blade, tearing packaging, a wind chime. SeedAudio can generate a single effect, or fold effects into a full scene alongside dialogue and music, timed and mixed in one pass.

Built on ByteDance's Seed-Audio 1.0, it treats effects as part of the scene rather than a separate library search: write "a phone buzzes, then a man asks in a low voice," and the effect, timing, and voice come back already mixed.

How it works

  1. 1

    Describe the sound or the moment it happens in your scene.

  2. 2

    Add the surrounding voices, ambience, or music if you want a full mix.

  3. 3

    Generate — get the effect on its own or lined up inside the finished audio.

Foley from plain text

Name the sound you need — footsteps, a cane on the floor, a chime — and get it generated instead of hunting through a sound library.

Effects timed to the scene

Effects are placed against the dialogue and music on output, so a phone buzz lands right before the line that answers it.

Ambience and atmosphere

Room tone, rain, crowd noise, and vinyl crackle set a mood in the same generation as the voices.

FAQ

What is an AI sound effect generator?
It is a tool that creates sound effects and ambience from a text description. SeedAudio can produce a single effect or generate effects as part of a full scene with dialogue and music, mixed in one pass.
Can I generate one effect on its own?
Yes. Describe the sound and generate it. You can also describe a whole moment and get the effect timed against the voices and music around it.
Does it place effects at the right time?
Yes. Because effects are generated with the scene rather than added afterward, the timing lines up with the dialogue on output — no manual alignment.
Do I need to sign up?
No. Try it in the workbench without signing up; billing is by output duration, with free credits on sign-up.
Can I use the effects commercially?
Audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See the Terms of Service for the exact scope.
