What is an AI sound effects generator?

An AI sound effects generator is a tool that creates a sound from a written description instead of searching a library for one. On Trendai.video you describe the sound, pick 5, 10, 15 or 22 seconds and get two different takes as MP3s, made as a loop if you ask. Or upload a 3 to 20 second clip, and the AI adds sound effects that match the picture, with optional background music, returned on the video and as an MP3.

How to use AI Sound Effects Generator in 3 steps

  1. Pick text or video

    Sign in to the AI sound effects generator and choose A sound from text, or Sound for my video and upload a 3 to 20 second clip.

  2. Describe the sound

    Write what you want to hear, up to 450 characters, with the source, the space and the mood. In text mode pick the length and whether it should loop.

  3. Make it and download

    Press Make the sound. It usually takes a few minutes. Play both takes or the new video, download them, or find them later in My Videos.

What AI Sound Effects Generator does

Two takes of every sound

Each text job makes two separate versions of your description, so you can pick the door slam with the better thud or keep both for variety in an edit.

Lengths from 5 to 22 seconds

Choose 5 s for a whoosh, impact or notification, 10 or 15 s for a short scene, or 22 s for a long ambience bed. The sound is made to that length, not padded with silence.

Loops that repeat without a jump

Turn on Loop it and the sound is made to run back into its own start, for rain, engine hum, crowd murmur or a game menu background.

Sound for a silent clip

Upload a 3 to 20 second MP4 or MOV, such as an AI-generated shot or a muted B-roll clip. The AI watches it and adds footsteps, wind, traffic or splashes in time with what happens on screen.

Optional background music

In video mode, describe a music bed in a few words, like calm lo-fi beat, and it's mixed in under the effects. Leave it empty for effects only.

Video and MP3 back

Video mode returns your clip with the new soundtrack as an MP4 and the same sound as a separate MP3, so you can use either in your editor.

Comparison

Why use AI Sound Effects Generator instead of a sound effects library?

Libraries mean keyword searches and auditioning dozens of files that are almost right. Describe the sound and it's made for you.

What you can make with it

Whooshes and hits for a fast-cut Reel

A 30-second product Reel with quick cuts feels flat without transitions. Make a set of short sounds and drop one on each cut.

  • Choose 5 seconds and describe one sound per job: a fast whoosh left to right, a soft low impact, a bright click.
  • You get two takes each time, so one job gives you two different whooshes to alternate.
  • Trim the MP3 to the part you need in your editor; the start of the sound lines up with the cut.

An ambience loop for a stream or game

A rainy-window stream, a cosy café background for a study video or the menu screen of a small game needs a bed of sound that never ends.

  • Describe the scene in detail: heavy rain on a window with distant thunder, or low chatter with cups clinking.
  • Pick 22 seconds and turn on Loop it so the end runs back into the start.
  • Repeat the MP3 in your editor or player for as long as you need.
  • Keep both takes and alternate them so the loop is harder to spot.

Sound for a silent AI-generated clip

Clips made by a video model often come back silent or with sound you don't want. A 10-second shot of waves on rocks needs to sound like the sea.

  • Trim the shot to 20 seconds or less and upload it in Sound for my video mode.
  • Add a short description, such as waves crashing on rocks and gulls overhead, to steer the effects; leave it empty to let the AI decide from the picture.
  • Add a music line, such as slow ambient piano, if the clip needs a mood.
  • The original sound is replaced, so don't use this mode on a clip with dialogue you want to keep.

Who it's for

Short-form creators

Add transitions, reaction sounds and ambience to TikToks, Reels and Shorts without searching through sound packs.

Indie game makers

Make placeholder or final sounds for footsteps, pickups, doors and looping level ambience in minutes.

AI video makers

Give silent generated shots footsteps, weather and music so a sequence of clips plays like a scene.

Podcasters and storytellers

Set a scene in an audio story with a creaking door, a storm outside or a busy street under the narration.

Tips for the best result

  • Name the source, the action and the space: a wooden door slammed in a small hallway beats door sound.
  • One sound per description works best. For a scene with many parts, make each sound separately and layer them.
  • Ask for 5 seconds for single hits and transitions; long lengths suit ambience, rain, wind and engines.
  • Use Loop it only for steady sounds. A single event like a crash doesn't need to loop.
  • For a song with melody and lyrics, use the AI Song Generator; this tool is for effects and short music beds.
  • In video mode, keep the sound description short. Only the first 200 characters are used for the effects.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a sound effect with AI?

Choose A sound from text, describe the sound, pick a length and press Make the sound. You get two takes as MP3s, usually within a few minutes.

How much does it cost?

In text mode, 17 credits for 5 seconds, 34 for 10, 51 for 15 and 75 for 22, for both takes. Sound for my video costs 30 credits per clip.

How long can a sound effect be?

Up to 22 seconds. Choose 5, 10, 15 or 22 seconds; for longer ambience, make a loop and repeat it.

Can I make a looping sound?

Yes. Turn on Loop it in text mode and the sound is made so its end runs back into its start.

Can I add sound effects to a video?

Yes. Choose Sound for my video and upload a 3 to 20 second MP4 or MOV. You get the video with matching sound and the sound as a separate MP3.

Will it keep the original sound of my video?

No. The clip's sound is replaced with the new effects and music, so use it on silent clips or ones whose sound you don't need.

Can I use it on a video longer than 20 seconds?

No. Trim the clip to 20 seconds or less first, or split a longer scene into parts and run each one.

Why do I get two takes?

The same description can be turned into a sound in different ways, so each text job makes two versions for you to choose from.

Do I need an account?

Yes. Sign in with Google or email; each job costs credits from your balance, and the result is saved in My Videos.

What if a job fails?

If a job can't finish, the credits it used go back to your balance automatically.
