Crying sound effect

From one caught sob to somebody coming apart. Describe the breathing and the weight, and the performance arrives matched to the face on screen.

  • Set the age, the weight of the sobs, and how the breathing runs underneath
  • A performance written for your scene instead of a stock clip of somebody else crying
  • Clean vocal audio you can place in your own space with your own reverb

Crying performances for drama, games, and animation

Quiet weeping

Thin and wavering with the breath catching underneath it, running long. The take most scenes reach for first, because it sits under dialogue instead of stopping it.

Single sob

One breath in, one broken cry out, then nothing. A single sob is often more affecting than a long take, since it lets an audience imagine the rest for themselves.

Heavy sobbing

Ragged in, broken out, over and over with no room between. The unevenness is what makes it read as real: sobbing that arrives on a steady rhythm sounds performed.

Stifled crying

Held in and escaping in small shakes. It reads as somebody trying not to be heard, which is a completely different beat from anybody crying openly.

Child crying

A school-age voice, higher and gulping between cries. Register changes everything an audience assumes about the situation before they see who is in the room.

Sniffing afterwards

Wet sniffs and unsteady breath with the crying over. This is the layer that makes a recovery scene work, and it is the one most edits forget to lay in.

Ways to use a crying sound effect

Land the moment somebody finally breaks

A single sob marks the exact frame a character gives way, and stops before it becomes a scene of its own. It plays the same over animation as over a close-up.

Hold a scene together without laying music over it

Continuous weeping carries a long still shot on its own, which keeps a drama, a game cutscene or a documentary segment from leaning on a score to do the feeling.

Show that the worst of it has passed

Sniffs and unsteady breathing tell an audience where they are in the arc, so a scene can open after the crying without a line explaining what happened.

Put a child in the story without casting one

Crying from beyond the frame gives a scene a child nobody has to cast, direct or animate, and it raises the stakes of whatever is happening in shot.

자주 묻는 질문

What makes a crying sound effect believable?
The breathing, far more than the voice. Real crying is built from uneven intakes and broken exhales, so a take with a steady rhythm reads as acted however emotional the voice is. Ask for ragged breath first and the cry follows it.
How do I make a crying sound effect?
Say who is crying and how hard, then describe the breath. Give the age and register, the weight of the sobs, whether the breath is dragged in or held back, and how long the take runs. Those four choices produce completely different performances.
Why does my crying sound like laughing?
Because the two share a broken rhythm and only the pitch shape separates them. Ask for cries that fall away rather than rise, with a wavering thin tone and audible intakes between them, and the ambiguity disappears.
Should crying sit under dialogue or between lines?
Under, if it is quiet weeping, and between if it is heavy sobbing. Sobs occupy the same frequencies and rhythm as speech, so anything full-throated placed under a line will fight it and win.
How do I make crying feel like it is in another part of the house?
Ask for the high edge to be taken off and a faint short echo left behind it. Losing the top of the voice is what an audience hears as separation, while simply lowering the level just sounds like a quiet performance close by.
Can I use a generated crying sound commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Generating the performance also avoids putting a recording of a real person's distress into a project you are selling.
