Intros, transitions, stingers and ambience, made from a description. Royalty-free for monetized episodes.

Podcast sound effects, made from a prompt

Real sounds from the library, each made from one prompt.

Stinger

“The loud cheer of a crowd after a victory”

Segment intro

“Time machine powering up and activating”

Storytelling

“The sound of a thunderstorm rolling in”

True crime

“A dripping faucet echoing in an empty room”

Why podcasters use SFX Engine

A sound that's yours

Generate stingers and transitions that fit your show, not the same free sounds every other podcast uses.

Set the scene for stories

Fiction, true crime and history shows can put listeners anywhere. "Rain on a police station window at night" takes one sentence.

Safe for monetized episodes

Every sound is royalty-free for commercial use, so ads and sponsorships on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube aren't a problem.

Generate the sound, download the WAV and drop it into Audacity, GarageBand, Descript, Riverside or whatever you edit in.
