Hippo

The wheezing honk of a hippo breaking into booming grunts, water blown from its nostrils, a heavy plunge and a grumble underwater. Describe the hippo sound you need and Morphic generates it clean, from a yawn to a fight.

Hippo sounds for games, animation, and video edits

Honking call

The wheezing honk and booming grunts hippos are known for, the call that tells everyone a pod is nearby.

Surfacing blow

A spray of water and a heavy snort as a head breaks the surface, for the moment a hippo appears out of nowhere.

Heavy plunge

A huge body hitting deep water and the splash crashing back, for a hippo sliding off a bank or a cartoon belly flop.

Underwater grumble

A deep muffled rumble with rising bubbles, for an underwater shot or the tension of something big just below.

Jaw gape

A long rasping groan as the jaws open wide, then a wet smack and a thud as they shut, for a yawn or a threat display.

Hippo fight

Roaring grunts, teeth clacking and water thrown everywhere, for two bulls clashing in a wildlife film or a game.

Ways to use a hippo sound effect

Make the surface erupt on cue

A spray and a snort on the exact frame a head breaks the water makes a reveal land, in a nature film, a jump scare or a game.

Edit prompt
Make the surface erupt on cue

Hold a still river shot with a low grumble

A deep rumble under the surface carries a long calm shot of water with no score, for a documentary, an audio story or a game level.

Edit prompt
Hold a still river shot with a low grumble

Tell the audience they are on an African river

A honking call over a wide shot of water says safari before anything moves, in a travel video, an animation or a podcast scene.

Edit prompt
Tell the audience they are on an African river

Warn that the water is not safe

A fight heard from around the bend tells viewers what the boat is heading into, so a film or a game can build dread before the hippos appear.

FAQ

What is a hippo sound effect?
It is a recording of a hippopotamus: its wheezing honk and booming grunts, a snort as it surfaces, a heavy plunge into water, a deep underwater grumble, a wide jaw gape or two hippos fighting. Most hippo sounds are wet and very low, which is what makes them read as huge on screen.
Where can I get hippo sounds for a video?
Generate them from a prompt. Describing the hippo sound you want takes less time than digging through a stock library, and you get the exact call or splash 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 hippo sound effect?
Describe what the hippo is doing and how much water is around it, then generate it. A prompt like "a hippo surfacing and blowing water from its nostrils with a heavy snort" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits the shot.
What is the difference between a hippo honk, a grunt and a snort?
A honk is the wheezing call that opens a hippo's signature sound; grunts are the rapid booming notes that follow it; and a snort is a blast of air and water from the nostrils when a hippo surfaces. Use the full honk-and-grunt call to introduce a hippo, and a snort for the moment one pops up.
Can I use these hippo 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 hippo sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually it is too dry for the picture. A hippo half under water sounds wet and splashy, so a clean call with no water under a shot of a wallowing hippo feels pasted on. Ask for the water in the prompt, surfacing, splashing or underwater, and it sits in the scene.
