Candle

The soft flutter of a single flame, the puff that blows it out, and the scratch and fizz of a match touching the wick. Describe the candle and Morphic generates it clean, from a steady burn to the last wisp.

  • Ask for a soft flicker, a match catching or the puff that blows it out, and that is the take
  • A flame made for the candlelit dinner or late-night vigil in your shot, small and close
  • Small, close, isolated audio you download and lay right under the shot in your edit

Candle sounds for games, animation, and video edits

Candle flame flickering

The faint flutter and tiny sputter of one flame, the bed under a quiet, close or intimate scene.

Blowing out a candle

One quick puff and a fizzing wisp, the full stop at the end of a wish, a vigil or a closing shot.

Lighting with a match

The scratch, the flare and the wick catching, for the first moment of a ritual, a dinner or a dark room.

Wooden wick crackle

A gentle run of tiny pops from a wooden wick, warmer than a plain flame, for a cozy and slow scene.

Snuffing out

A soft metal cap and a muffled fizz, a quieter, more deliberate ending than blowing the flame out.

Wax dripping

Slow drops of hot wax tapping onto metal, a small detail sound for a long night or a candle burning down.

FAQs

What is a candle sound effect?
It is a close recording of a single candle doing one thing, burning, being lit, being blown out or dripping wax. Candles are very quiet, so these sounds are small and intimate, and they suit close shots, slow scenes and rooms lit only by flame.
Where can I get candle sounds for a video?
Generate them. Describing the take you want is quicker than digging through a stock library, and you get the exact candle moment your scene needs. 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 candle sound effect?
Describe the candle and the action, then generate it. A prompt like "a wooden match struck on a box, flaring with a scratchy hiss, then touched to a candle wick" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits the shot.
What is the difference between a candle flicker, a wooden wick crackle and a fireplace?
A candle flicker is one small flame on a cotton wick, a faint flutter with the odd sputter. A wooden wick adds a gentle run of tiny pops. A fireplace is a large wood fire with deep crackles and shifting logs, far too big for a single candle on screen.
Can I use these candle 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 candle sound too loud or too big in the edit?
A candle is one of the quietest sources you can put on screen, so a flame that crackles like a log fire reads as wrong straight away. Pick a soft flicker or a wooden wick, keep the level low under dialogue, and save the bigger crackles for an actual fire.
