FAQs
What is an Asian sound effect?
Asian sound effects are real instruments and places from across the continent: a great temple bell, taiko drums, the guzheng zither, tabla, bamboo groves and a garden water spout. They are respectful place and instrument sounds, with no voices, accents or caricature.
Where can I get Asian sounds for a video?
Generate the instrument or place from a one-line description and skip the search through mislabelled packs. Every sound on this page was made from the prompt beside it, so you can start from one and adjust it.
How do I make a custom Asian sound effect?
Pair the instrument with a playing style, then add how close it is. A prompt like "a guzheng zither plucked in a quick rippling run of bright strings" gives Morphic enough to work with, and asking for a slower run changes the feel of the scene.
What is the difference between taiko, tabla and a temple bell?
Taiko are large Japanese drums with a deep booming hit, tabla are a pair of Indian hand drums with bright ringing strokes and a bending bass, and a temple bell is a great bronze bell struck by a swinging log. Each points to a different place, so pick by the setting.
Can I use these Asian 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 Asian sound not sit right in the edit?
Instruments from different countries layered together blur where the scene is set. Pick the one that fits the place on screen, and keep the bamboo wind or the water spout underneath as the steady bed.
