Give a landing some weight
A single well-timed hit makes a jump or a dropped object feel physical, which matters as much in platformers as it does in stop-motion shorts.
Edit prompt
Bounce
Every kind of bounce an edit needs, ready to play: a single rubber-ball hit, a run of settling bounces, a dribbled basketball, and a springy cartoon boing. Describe the bounce your shot needs and Morphic generates it in seconds.
- Choose the surface and the weight: rubber on concrete, a light ping on wood, a springy cartoon exaggeration
- Bounces matched to your character's physics, not a stock ball that always lands the same way
- Individual hits arrive separated, so you can place each one against the animation frame it belongs to
Bounce sounds for video, games, and animation
Single bounce
One clean impact with a short tail, the building block you drop in frame by frame when timing carries the gag.
Settling run
A decaying series that slows and dies away, for anything dropped and left to come to rest on its own.
Basketball dribble
Steady rubber-on-hardwood strikes with court reflections behind them, for sports scenes and gym atmosphere.
Cartoon boing
The exaggerated pitched boing of classic animation, comic rather than physical, and best used sparingly.
Small ball tap
A light high tick of a small ball on a hard table, table tennis, marbles, tiny props in close-up.
Spring coil bounce
Metallic spring resonance wrapped around the impact, for traps, toys and machinery in games and animated shorts.

Pick a starting point, edit anything you like, then generate it in Morphic.
Ways to use bounce sound effects
When something rolls away and nobody speaks
After a fumble, a run of decaying bounces carries the awkward silence and gets an audience to the next line in comedy and animation alike.
Edit prompt
An empty gym at six in the morning
Repeating dribbles and distant taps build the echoing emptiness of a hall, a court or a warehouse before any character walks in.
Edit prompt
Whatever just fell down the stairs
Bounces travelling out of frame let people picture where an object went and how far, with no extra shot to film or draw.

FAQs
What is a bounce sound effect?
It is the springy hit made when something rebounds off a surface, from a single rubber-ball contact to an exaggerated cartoon boing. What separates one from another is the object and the surface: a rubber ball is rounded and short, a basketball is firm and flat, and a cartoon boing wobbles in pitch. Whether it hits once or settles in a run is what tells the audience what is bouncing.
Where can I get bounce sounds for a video?
Generate them rather than search for them. Describing the bounce you want takes less time than digging through a stock library, and you get the exact take your scene needs instead of the closest available match. 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 bounce sound effect?
Describe what bounces, on what surface, and how many times, then generate it. A prompt like "a rubber ball bouncing once on a hard floor, one springy hit with a short tail" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until the object and the number of hits match your shot.
How do I get a realistic bounce rather than a cartoon boing?
Name a real object and a real surface, and skip the pitch wobble. A realistic bounce is "a rubber ball on a hard floor, one springy rounded hit". A cartoon boing needs "wobbles up and down in pitch" to get the exaggerated sproing. The object and whether you ask for a pitch bend are what steer the model between the two.
Can I use these bounce sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Because each sound is generated rather than pulled from a shared library, you also avoid the clip turning up in someone else's video.
Why does my bounce sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually the number of hits is wrong rather than the sound itself. A settling run of bounces laid under a single on-screen hit drifts past the picture, and one lone bounce under a ball settling on screen ends too soon. Match the count of hits to what you see, generate it that way, and it locks to the motion.
