Imagine any sound effect and create it with the Adobe Firefly sound effect generator. Just describe the effect, upload reference audio, or act it out into your mic — then easily generate a high-quality effect and add it to any video.
As a web-based AI sound generator, Adobe Firefly lets you create custom sound effects for any creative project for free. And with intuitive input and adjustment controls, it’s easy to get started and get showstopping results.
Pair your existing sound library with custom audio created in the AI sound effect generator. When you need a sound that creates a specific ambiance, Firefly makes it easy to generate exactly what you’re looking for.
Type in your description — glass shattering, a lion’s roar, animal sounds, thunder clapping — or act it out into your mic alongside a text prompt to get the timing and intensity just right.
Upload your own video or audio files and use the AI sound generator to add effects precisely where you want in your media. You can even layer multiple sounds to create a richer, more immersive soundscape and ambiance.
From podcasts and games to films and social media, the Firefly AI sound effect generator can supplement your audio library and help you explore and create your most impactful work. Whether you need laughing crowds, sci-fi lasers, custom foley, or sound effects for a product drop — make some noise with Firefly.
The Firefly AI sound effect generator creates royalty-free audio using models trained on licensed and public domain content. That means no copyright risks, no attribution hurdles, and no costly licensing. Every effect you produce is commercial-ready, giving you the freedom to use it across any project with confidence.
On the Adobe Firefly homepage, go to the Audio module and select Voice to sound effects.
On the Generate sound effects page, upload a video or audio file that you want to add sound effects to.
Position the playhead where you need your effect, select Record voice and wait for the countdown — then act out your sound effect into your mic. This will help the model gauge timing, volume, and intensity.
Preview your recording, add a text description for additional context, and select Generate.
Preview output variations, select your favorite, and it’ll be added to the timeline at your playhead. Repeat the process to layer in more sound effects.
Make easy adjustments right from the timeline — reposition, mute, change volume, and more.
Preview and download your final composition for any creative project.
Quickly and easily create custom sound effects that perfectly match your scene with the Firefly AI sound effect generator. Use a description, your own voice, or a reference sound to generate high-quality soundscapes.
Generate unique foley, ambience, and sound effects from a short text description — no recording setup or sound design skills required.
Shape timing, intensity, and energy to fit specific moments in your edit and mix multiple sound effects together to build richer, more immersive audio.
Skip hours of searching, downloading, and licensing audio. Firefly helps you generate, refine, and reuse sounds in minutes.
Content created with Adobe Firefly models is safe for commercial use, so you can use it in your professional and client projects with confidence.
