Whale sound effects

Humpback song, the low pulses of a blue whale, orca clicks, and a blow at the surface. Name the species, because whale alone means very little.

  • Name the species, because they share almost nothing
  • A call made for your water, not a shared stock clip
  • Clean audio that works above or below the surface

Whale sounds for film, games, and animation

Humpback song

0:12

Moaning tones rising and falling with a groaning texture, repeating slowly. Humpback song is structured and repeats, which is what makes it song rather than calls.

Blue whale pulse

0:10

A deep sustained tone with almost nothing above it. Blue whales call so low that much of it is felt rather than heard.

Orca clicks and calls

0:08

Dry click trains with sharp whistles over them. Orcas are dolphins, and they sound like it: nothing like the moaning of a baleen whale.

Blow at the surface

0:05

A huge wet exhale then a slow drawn inhale. This is the only whale sound most people hear in reality, and it happens above water.

Breach and splash

0:05

An enormous body leaving water and landing. The pause between the two is what carries the size of the animal.

Distant song

0:10

Song heard from far off underwater, softened and blurred. Whale song travels for hundreds of miles, and distance is most of its character.

Ways to use whale sound effects

Punctuate a cut with a surfacing

A blow is explosive and instant, so it lands on a frame and puts an enormous animal above water at the same time.

Let distant song hold an underwater shot

Blurred song with long tails gives a submerged frame something to sit under and reads instantly as deep water.

Say the ocean is enormous

A blue whale pulse sits so low it registers as pressure rather than sound, which conveys scale nothing else manages.

Put something vast past the boat

A breach heard off camera tells the audience how big it is, and the gap before the splash does the work.

Preguntas frecuentes

Do all whales sound the same?
Not remotely. Humpbacks produce structured, repeating song full of moans and groans, blue whales pulse at frequencies mostly below human hearing, and orcas click and whistle like the dolphins they are. Naming the species matters more than naming the animal.
What makes humpback song different from calls?
Structure and repetition. Humpback song follows phrases that repeat in order and change slowly over a season, which is why it is called song at all. Asking for a repeating phrase rather than a call gets much closer to the real thing.
Why can I barely hear blue whale calls?
Because much of the energy sits below what people hear clearly. That is genuinely useful on screen: a blue whale pulse registers as pressure rather than as a sound, which conveys scale in a way no loud call does.
What sound do whales make above water?
The blow, which is the only whale sound most people ever hear in reality. A huge wet exhale followed by a slow drawn inhale, and using it is what makes a surface scene feel real rather than dubbed from a documentary.
Are orcas whales?
They are the largest members of the dolphin family, which is why they click and whistle rather than moan. If a scene needs the classic whale sound, an orca is the wrong animal to ask for even though the name suggests otherwise.
Can I use these whale sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Because each call is generated rather than pulled from a shared catalogue, you also avoid the clip turning up in someone else's marine sequence.
