Chess

The weighted click of a piece set down on a wooden board, the clack of a chess clock, and the knock of a capture. Describe the chess sound and Morphic generates it clean, from a slow slide to a king tipped over.

  • Ask for a piece set down, a clock slapped or a king tipped over, and that is the move you get
  • Moves made for the tournament hall or park table in your scene, on the set you describe
  • Comes as clean, isolated audio you download and lay under each move in your edit or game

Chess sounds for games, animation, and video edits

Chess piece placed

A soft weighted click of a wooden piece on the board, the core move sound for videos, apps and match recaps.

Chess clock pressed

A sharp hard clack as a player hits the clock, for blitz games, time pressure and tense finishes.

Piece captured

A piece knocked aside and another set in its place, for the capture that turns the game around.

Pieces tipped into the box

A whole set poured into a wooden box in a clattering rush, for the end of a game or packing up.

Piece sliding across the board

A felt base gliding over wood before it stops, a slow and confident move for a long thinking scene.

King tipped over

The king knocked onto its side and rolling to a stop, the quiet sound of someone resigning the game.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What is a chess sound effect?
It is a recording of the physical sounds of a chess game: a piece being placed, slid or captured, a clock being pressed or the king being tipped over. These small sounds carry a lot of tension, which is why chess videos, apps and films lean on them so heavily.
Where can I get chess sounds for a video?
Generate them from a prompt. Describing the move you want takes less time than digging through a stock library, and you get the exact piece and board your scene needs. Every sound on this page was made from the prompt printed beside it, so you can start from one and adjust it.
How do I make a custom chess sound effect?
Describe the piece, the board and the action, then generate it. A prompt like "a weighted wooden chess piece set down firmly on a wooden board, close and clearly audible" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits the shot.
What is the difference between a move, a capture and a clock press?
A move is a single soft click of a piece landing; a capture adds the knock of one piece hitting another before the click; and a clock press is a sharper plastic or metal clack from the timer. Using all three in their real order, move then clock, is what makes a match sound real.
Can I use these chess sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Because each sound is generated for you, you also avoid the clip turning up in someone else's video.
Why does my chess sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually the board material does not match the picture. A plastic set on a vinyl mat clicks thin and light, while weighted wood on a wooden board is soft and deep, so the wrong one sounds pasted on. Name the set you see in the prompt and the moves sit in the scene.
