Punctuate an angry exit with a slam

- A door thudding shut on the frame your detective finally climbs into the car

Car door sounds for games, animation, and video edits
Car door slam
A heavy door shut hard with a solid thunk and latch, for angry exits, arrivals in a hurry and the end of an argument.
Car door opening
A handle pulled, the latch releasing and the door swinging out on its hinges, for someone stepping out or climbing in.
Two doors shutting
Two car doors closed one after the other, for two people getting in, a couple leaving or a team ready to roll.
Locking clunk
Every door lock snapping down together in one dull mechanical clunk, for a car locked up and left, or someone trapped inside.
Locked handle tug
A door handle yanked twice on a locked car, the latch rattling while the door stays shut, for a chase or a lockout.
Trunk lid slam
A trunk lid pulled down and slammed with a hollow thud, for packing bags, a road trip or something hidden in the back.

FAQs
What is a car door sound effect?
It covers the handle, latch, hinge and thunk of a car door opening or closing, plus the locks and the trunk lid. A heavy, solid thunk tells the audience the car is big and well built, while a tinny clack says old or cheap.
Where can I get car door sounds for a video?
Write a short description on Morphic and the door is generated to match it, so you skip the search for a slam with the right weight. 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 car door sound effect?
Describe the action, the weight of the door and how hard it moves, then generate it. A prompt like "a car door slammed shut hard, a heavy solid metal thunk as the latch catches" gives Morphic enough to work with.
What is the difference between a car door close, a slam and a lock?
A close is a firm push that lets the latch catch with a solid thunk. A slam is the same door thrown shut, louder and with the whole body shuddering. A lock is the separate mechanical clunk of the latches snapping down once the doors are shut.
Can I use these car door 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 car door sound not sit right in the edit?
Most often the thunk lands a frame or two early, before the door visibly meets the frame. Slide it until the impact matches the moment the door stops, and keep a door heard from inside the cabin duller and closer than one heard from the street.
