Create realistic thunder sound effects with a quick text prompt.

To generate your rain and thunder sound effects, all you need to do is create a quick text prompt. Just describe the type of boom you want to hear. For example, you might want an “echoing thunderclap”, or “ominous thunder rumbling in the distance”.

You can also add a reference clip so the Adobe Firefly thunder sound effect generator knows exactly what you’re looking for.

Create, remix and reuse your thunder and rain sound effects.

Once you’ve made your perfect thunder sound effects, you can tweak and remix the audio using Adobe Firefly tools. Adjust the length, intensity and tone to get it just right, and then export it as a high-quality audio file.

Download as MP4 or WAV to save, share or drop directly into your project. You can also save multiple versions to reuse and build a library of realistic nature sound effects.

Layer your perfect storm with multiple sound effects.

You can create even more realistic sound effects by uploading reference clips of thunder and rain. Once you’ve generated your sounds, you can then add multiple layers to create your perfect storm – think rain and wind sound effects. Whether you’re scoring your short film or creating an atmospheric audiobook, Adobe Firefly has all the tools you need.

How to create thunder sound effects with Adobe Firefly AI.

Use Adobe Firefly generative AI tools to create and customise realistic thunder sound effects in seconds. Start with a simple text prompt or audio reference clip, then remix and refine until you’re happy. All you need to do is:

  1. Open the AI sound effect generator. Go to the Adobe Firefly homepage and click on the AI sound effect generator. Or, just head straight to the sound effect generator.
  2. Upload your reference clip (optional). If you want to, upload your thunder sound effect reference clip for even more accurate results.
  3. Create your prompt. Describe what you want to hear. Start with a simple prompt like, “loud, booming thunder” or “thunder rolling in the distance.”
  4. Review and edit your generated sounds. Listen back to your sound effects and fine-tune them until you’re happy. You can adjust length, intensity and tone.
  5. Add directly to your project (optional). Once you’re happy, you can add your thunder sound effects directly to your mix if you want to.
  6. Download and share your audio file. If you’re not adding it straight to a project, you can download your thunder sound effects as an MP4 or WAV file.
