Analog horror

Mature content ahead

This page covers mature themes for adult audiences making film, games and other creative work.

A harsh two-tone alert warble, a test tone sagging off pitch and the crackle of a tape losing tracking. Describe the analog horror sound you need and Morphic generates it clean and unsettling.

  • Alert warbles, test tones, warped tape and static cuts, made from your words
  • Broadcast dread tuned for your found-footage reveal or late-night tape
  • Isolated audio you can layer straight onto a tape effect or a black frame

Analog horror sounds for games, animation, and video edits

Alert tone warble

A harsh two-tone electronic warble that will not stop, for a warning nobody explains or the start of a broadcast gone wrong.

Wobbling test tone

A plain sine test tone that drifts slightly off pitch, for a station sign-off, a frozen frame or an empty title card.

Warped tape drone

A held tone on worn tape sagging and wobbling in pitch, the sound of a recording that should not still exist.

Tracking glitch

A burst of tape tracking noise, crackle and stutter, for a jump cut, a hidden frame or footage that tears for a moment.

Signal cut to static

A steady tone that breaks into a roar of static, for a feed dying, a transmission seized or a channel going dark.

Descending beeps

Three electronic beeps stepping down in pitch with a gap between each, for a countdown, a coded signal or a cold open.

Ways to use an analog horror sound effect

Make a jump cut feel like the tape broke

A burst of tracking noise on the frame the image tears gives a found-footage scare its jolt, in a web series, a horror game or an animation.

Hold a still frame with no score at all

A wobbling test tone under a frozen title card keeps the viewer uneasy for as long as it holds, in a short film, a web mystery or a podcast.

Hold a still frame with no score at all

Make it feel like a late-night broadcast

An alert warble under the opening shot says something official is wrong before any text appears, in horror video, games and audio drama.

Suggest the signal was cut on purpose

A tone breaking into static off screen hints someone pulled the feed without showing who, useful in a mystery, a horror game or a radio story.

Questions fréquentes

What is an analog horror sound effect?
An analog horror sound effect is the sound of failing old media: alert warbles, test tones, warped tape, tracking noise and static. The genre uses these plain broadcast sounds to make ordinary footage feel wrong.
Where can I get analog horror sounds for a video?
Generate them on Morphic from a prompt. Writing down the tone or glitch you want takes less time than searching a stock library, and 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 analog horror sound effect?
Describe the source and how it fails, then generate it. A prompt like "a pure electronic sine test tone held at one pitch with a slow wobble" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can add crackle or distortion until it feels right.
What is the difference between a test tone, an alert warble and tape warp?
A test tone is one plain, steady pitch, eerie because nothing else is happening. An alert warble alternates two harsh pitches and feels like an official warning. Tape warp is any tone sagging and wobbling as old tape stretches, which sounds like a memory going bad.
Can I use these analog horror 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 analog horror sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually it sounds too clean for the picture. Roll off the low end and the top so it seems to come from a small old speaker, and add a little tape hiss under it. Keep the level steady: analog horror unsettles through flatness, so avoid big swells.
