What Sound Effect Generator does

A game without sound feels unfinished, and hunting for the right coin or laser sound eats an afternoon. The Sound Effect Generator makes the small sounds a game needs: coins, jumps, lasers, hits, explosions, menu clicks. Pick a type and press until you like what you hear, then change the wave, the envelope, pitch slides, vibrato, arpeggios, filters and bitcrush.

A seed gives the same sound back every time, so a sound can be shared as one line of text. Lock the settings you like and mutate the rest, stack up to 4 layers, start from the styles of our sound packs, save 10 variations as one ZIP and match the loudness across a set, so a whole game's sounds sit at the same level.

How it works

  1. Pick a type: pickup, laser, explosion, power-up, hit, jump, blip or random.
  2. Press again until you like it, or lock the settings you like and mutate the rest.
  3. Shape it with the wave, envelope, slides and filters, watching the waveform.
  4. Save it as a WAV at the rate your game uses.

What you get out
