Highlighter

A broad chisel tip squeaking across a page, the pop of a cap pulled off and the scratch of a pen running dry. Describe the highlighter sound your scene needs and Morphic generates it clean.

  • A long stroke, a cap pop or a pen running dry, just as you describe
  • Fits your late night study montage, one stroke per line of the page
  • Clean, isolated highlighter audio for the desk close-up in your edit

Highlighter sounds for games, animation, and video edits

Chisel-tip swipe

One long wet squeak of felt across paper, for a close shot of a key line being marked in a study or planning video.

Cap off and on

A dry pop as the cap comes off and a firm click as it goes back, the start and end of a study session in any edit.

Quick study strokes

A short run of quick strokes across a book page, for cramming scenes, revision montages and planner videos.

Running dry

A scratchy squeak that skips and catches, for a comic beat when the pen gives out at the worst moment.

Retractable click

Two sharp spring clicks of a retractable highlighter, a nervous fidget or a ready signal in an office or classroom scene.

Cup of highlighters

A handful of pens dropped into a desk cup with a hollow rattle, for tidying up, a desk set-up or the end of a long night.

Ways to use a highlighter sound effect

Mark the line that matters

One long highlighter stroke on the key sentence gives a study video or an explainer its moment of focus, in video, animation and slides.

Fill a quiet study session with no music

Quick study strokes carry a long revision montage without a track, keeping a study vlog, a tutorial or a podcast clip moving.

Set up a desk before work begins

A cap pulled off and clicked back sets an office or classroom scene before anyone speaks, in animation, games and audio stories.

Hint at a long night off screen

A pen running dry from out of frame says someone has been at it for hours without showing them, useful in comedy shorts, games and radio.

Questions fréquentes

What is a highlighter sound effect?
Short desk sounds from a highlighter: the broad wet squeak of its chisel tip on paper, the pop and click of its cap and the scratch of a tip that has run dry. Each is small, so it works best on close shots of hands and pages.
Where can I get highlighter sounds for a video?
Write a short description and Morphic generates it, so there is no need to scroll a stock library for a stroke that matches. 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 highlighter sound effect?
Mention the stroke, the paper and how close the microphone is. A prompt like "a dried-out highlighter scratching across paper, a dry rasping squeak that skips and catches" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording to fit.
What is the difference between a highlighter, a marker and a pen sound?
A highlighter has a wide, wet felt tip that gives a broad smooth squeak. A marker on a whiteboard squeals higher and sharper, and a pen makes a thin, fast scratch. Choose the one that matches the tip you see on screen.
Can I use these highlighter 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 highlighter sound not sit right in the edit?
Often the stroke and the hand are out of step, so the squeak starts before the tip touches the page. Trim the start to the first contact, keep the level low under dialogue, and use quick strokes, not one long swipe, for fast marking.
