FAQs

What is a brush sound effect?
It is the sound of bristles dragging across a surface: hair, tiles, canvas, teeth, fabric or metal. The bristle stiffness and the surface set the character, from a light swish through hair to a harsh rasp on rusty steel, and the stroke pace tells the audience how calm or busy the moment is.
Where can I get brush sounds for a video?
Generate them from a prompt. Describing the brush and surface you want takes less time than digging through a stock library, and you get the exact stroke 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 brush sound effect?
Describe the brush, its bristles and the surface it moves across, then generate it. A prompt like "a stiff scrubbing brush scrubbed hard across a wet tile floor, a harsh bristly scrape" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits the shot.
What is the difference between a hairbrush, a scrubbing brush and a paintbrush sound?
A hairbrush is a light, airy swish through strands, slow and even. A scrubbing brush is stiff bristles grinding on a hard wet surface, harsh and fast, and a paintbrush is a short dry or tacky drag through paint. Matching the brush to what the hands are doing is what makes the sound believable.
Can I use these brush 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 brush sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually the stroke rhythm does not match the hand on screen. If the brush moves slowly and the sound scrubs fast, the ear notices at once. Generate strokes at the pace you see, or cut single swipes to each movement, and the brush sits in the scene.
