Chase

Two sets of feet pounding the pavement, a chain-link fence rattling under a climber, bins crashing over and tyres screeching round a corner. Describe the chase your scene needs and Morphic generates it clean.

  • Running feet, a fence climb, bins crashing or tyres screeching, the chase you describe
  • Built for the rooftop pursuit in your thriller, one leap ahead of the pursuer
  • Each chase sound comes isolated, so it locks to the action in a fast cut

Tyre squeal

Tyres screeching through a corner as the engine roars away, for a car chase in a film, a game or an animated short.

Edit prompt

Jump and landing

A quick scuff, a moment in the air and a heavy crunching landing, for a leap across a gap during a pursuit.

Ways to use a chase sound effect

Slam the gate on the pursuer

A gate clanging shut at the last moment gives a chase its turning point, in action films, platform games and animated capers.

Edit prompt
Slam the gate on the pursuer

Keep a foot chase racing with no soundtrack

Two sets of running feet carry a long pursuit on their own, so a thriller, a game level or an audio drama keeps its speed without music.

Edit prompt
Keep a foot chase racing with no soundtrack

Set a back street chase in the city

Bins crashing and lids spinning away put the chase in narrow city backstreets at once, for films, open-world games and podcasts.

Edit prompt
Set a back street chase in the city

Hint at the car chase just round the corner

Tyres screeching off screen tell the audience the pursuit is still on, without showing the cars, in films, games and radio drama.

FAQs

What is a chase sound effect?
Chase sounds are the physical sounds of a pursuit: two sets of running feet, a fence climbed, bins knocked over, tyres screeching, a jump across a gap and a gate slammed shut. They keep a chase moving and tell the audience who is ahead.
Where can I get chase sounds for a video?
Sketch the pursuit in a sentence and Morphic generates the sound for your shot. You skip assembling it from stock pieces, and every sound on this page was made from the prompt printed beside it, so any of them can be adapted.
How do I make a custom chase sound effect?
Choose the action, the surface and the speed, then generate it. A prompt like "a metal gate slid shut and slammed hard behind a runner, a long rolling screech ending in a heavy clang" works, and you can change metal to wood.
What is the difference between chase, running and footstep sounds?
Footstep sounds are single steps or a walk. Running sounds are one person moving fast. Chase sounds add the pursuit, two runners, obstacles hit along the way and vehicles, so the audience hears both the hunter and the hunted.
Can I use these chase 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 chase sound not sit right in the edit?
A chase often has steady running under every shot and nothing else. Drop the footsteps out on wide shots, bring them in close on tight ones, and let obstacles like bins and fences punctuate each cut.
