Bullet ricochet sounds for games, animation, and video edits
Classic ricochet whine
The ping and long wavering whine everyone knows, for a near miss in a western, a war scene or an action game.
Off a steel plate
A bright ringing ping off hard metal, for a target hit, a shot off armour plate or a round clipping a steel door.
Off concrete
A dry crack and a spray of grit, for a shot that clips a wall or a pillar beside a character taking cover.
Off sheet metal
A hollow clang and a rattling buzz, for rounds glancing off a car door, a shed wall or a corrugated roof.
Ricochet burst
Three near misses one after another, for a character pinned down while shots skip off the cover around them.
Slowed-down ricochet
A stretched, deep ping and a low warbling whine, for a slow-motion shot of the round tumbling past the lens.

Ways to use a bullet ricochet sound effect
Keep a standoff tense without a score
A few ricochets skipping off cover carry a long pinned-down stretch with nobody talking, in a war film, a game level or an audio drama.
Edit prompt
Set a scene in a dusty frontier canyon
The classic long whine off rock tells the audience they are in a western shootout, in a short film, an animation or a podcast episode.

FAQs
What is a bullet ricochet sound effect?
It is the sound of a bullet striking a hard surface at an angle and glancing away: a ping or crack at contact, then a whine as the deformed round tumbles off. It tells the audience a shot missed by inches, which is why it turns up in westerns, war scenes and action games.
Where can I get bullet ricochet sounds for a video?
Generate them from a prompt. Describing the ricochet you need takes less time than digging through a stock library, and the exact take your scene needs is generated for you. 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 bullet ricochet sound effect?
Describe the surface the bullet hits and how it glances away, then generate it. A prompt like "a bullet striking a steel plate, a hard bright ping with a ringing metal decay" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits the shot.
What is the difference between a ricochet, a fly-by and a bullet impact?
A ricochet is a round hitting a hard surface and glancing off, so you hear contact and then a whine. A fly-by is a round passing close without touching anything, a crack and a quick whiz. An impact is a round hitting and stopping, a thud or a crunch with no whine after it.
Can I use these bullet ricochet 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 bullet ricochet sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually the whine does not match the surface or the distance. A hit right beside the camera wants a sharp ping and a short whine, while one across the yard is mostly whine. Match what the round hits, steel rings, rock cracks and concrete sprays grit, and put the ping on the frame the spark appears.
