Aquatic

The clicks and whistles of a dolphin, the long low call of a whale and the crackle of snapping shrimp on a reef. Describe the aquatic sound your scene needs and Morphic generates it clean.

  • Name the creature and what it does, a dolphin whistle, a whale call, a fish leap
  • A call made for the blue-water dive in your reef documentary
  • Clean, isolated aquatic audio you download and drop into your edit

Aquatic sounds for games, animation, and video edits

Dolphin clicks

Clicks and a rising whistle, the instantly familiar call for any ocean scene with dolphins in it.

Whale call

A long low call that bends and fades, for open ocean, a slow reveal or a sense of something vast.

Fish leap

One fish breaking the surface and slapping back down, a quick sign of life on a still lake or river.

Snapping shrimp

A dense fizzing crackle of tiny pops, the real sound of a living reef heard from below the surface.

Seal dive

A heavy splash and a bubbling rush as a seal slips under, for coastal wildlife or a creature leaving frame.

Aquarium bubbles

A steady stream of bubbles over a soft pump buzz, the bed for a fish tank, a pet shop or a calm desk shot.

Ways to use an aquatic sound effect

Mark the moment a fish breaks the surface

One sharp splash on the exact frame makes a leap land, in a nature video, a fishing game or an animated short.

Edit prompt
Mark the moment a fish breaks the surface

Carry a slow reef shot with no music

Snapping shrimp keep a long reef sequence alive on their own, in a documentary, an ocean game or a podcast scene.

Edit prompt
Carry a slow reef shot with no music

Say this is the open ocean

A whale call under the first shot tells viewers they are far from land, for a film, a level intro or an audio story.

Edit prompt
Say this is the open ocean

Dolphins nearby that never show

Clicks and a whistle off screen say a pod is close by without a single fin in shot, in video, games or animation.

FAQs

What is an aquatic sound effect?
It is a recording of life in or on the water, dolphin clicks, whale calls, fish leaping, shrimp crackling, a seal diving, used to place a scene in the sea, a lake or a fish tank. Each one points to a creature, so the sound tells viewers what lives there.
Where can I get aquatic sounds for a video?
Generate them from a prompt. Describing the creature and moment 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 aquatic sound effect?
Describe the creature, what it does and whether you hear it above or below the surface, then generate it. A prompt like "a dolphin calling, rapid clicks followed by a high whistle that rises and falls" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits the shot.
What is the difference between aquatic, underwater and water sounds?
Aquatic sounds are the creatures, dolphins, whales, fish and shrimp. Underwater sounds are what it is like to be submerged, the muffled hush and bubbles around a diver. Water sounds are the liquid itself, streams, taps, pours and splashes.
Can I use these aquatic 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 aquatic sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually it is heard from the wrong side of the surface. A bright splash recorded in the air feels pasted on under an underwater shot, because things sound different below the surface. Say whether the camera is above or below the water in your prompt and it sits in the scene with far less work.
