Crime sounds for games, animation, and video edits
Window smashed in
One hard blow and glass shattering onto the floor, the sound that starts a break-in in a thriller or a heist game.
Lock picking
Crisp scraping clicks and pin taps ending in a turn, for a burglar at a door or a lockpick minigame in a stealth game.
Safe dial clicks
A run of crisp ratchet clicks and a heavy bolt thunking open, the tense centre of every safe-cracking scene.
Handcuffs ratchet
A fast ratchet of tight metal clicks ending in a hard lock, for an arrest at the end of a chase or an interrogation.
Radio squelch
A burst of hissing static between two clicks, for a stakeout car, a patrol or a crew checking in during a job.
Siren closing in
A siren wailing far off and growing steadily louder, the signal that time is running out for whoever is inside.

FAQs
What is a crime sound effect?
Crime sounds are the physical sounds around a crime story: a window smashed in, a lock picked, a safe dial turning, handcuffs closing, a burst of radio static and a siren closing in. They tell the story with objects, without any dialogue.
Where can I get crime sounds for a video?
Describe the moment and Morphic generates the crime sound for your scene. That beats hunting through police packs, and every sound on this page was made from the prompt printed beside it, so it is a working example you can adapt.
How do I make a custom crime sound effect?
Choose the object, the action and how fast it happens, then generate it. A prompt like "two thin metal picks working inside a door lock, crisp scraping clicks and pin taps" works, and you can slow it down for a longer scene.
What is the difference between crime, police and siren sounds?
Police sounds are the force at work, radios, whistles, cars and handcuffs. Siren sounds are the vehicle warnings alone. Crime sounds focus on the act itself, a break-in, a picked lock or a safe, plus the cues that it has been noticed.
Can I use these crime 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 crime sound not sit right in the edit?
Small clicks like a lock or a safe dial get lost under anything else playing. Bring them up close and dry, cut away everything around them, and the tension of the close-up will come from the clicks alone.
