Guide to Generating Sound Effects

Step 1. Describe your sound

Log into getimg.ai and open Create sound effect in the sidebar, under the Audio group. In the prompt box, describe the sound you want to hear. You can be as brief or as specific as you like.

The more you name, the closer the result: the source, the action, the space it happens in, and how it should feel.

Mention any of these, or leave them open and let the model decide:

• The object or source making the sound
• The action and how it moves, such as a single hit, a slow build, or a steady loop
• The space around it, such as a small room, an open field, or underwater.

You can layer several sounds in one description, and on the longer clips you can ask for a short sequence, such as footsteps that stop at a creaking door.

Examples:

• a heavy wooden door creaking open, then slamming shut in a stone hallway
• distant thunder rolling over steady rain on a tin roof
• a bright retro 8-bit coin pickup, short and punchy.

Step 2. Set length and variants

In the prompt box, choose:

• Length: 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, or 30 seconds
• Variants: 1, 2, or 4 versions per run.

More variants give you more takes to compare in a single generation. Sound effects are generated with Eleven Sound Effects 2.

Step 3. Generate

Click the arrow next to the prompt box to start. Generating a few variants at once is a good way to compare takes before settling on one.

Once your sounds appear in the gallery:

• Play a result, download it as an .mp3 audio file, or add it to a folder
• Reuse the prompt to try another take.

Sound effects are priced per sound effect, a flat cost no matter which length you pick, so you know the price before you generate.
