Dash

A sharp burst of air as a character dashes forward, a warp dash snapping out of sight and a hyperdrive jump launching a ship away. Describe the dash and Morphic generates it clean.

  • A game dash, a warp blink or a hyperdrive jump, exactly as you describe
  • Made for the air dash that carries your runner across the rooftop gap
  • Clean dash sounds to land on the first frame of every burst
A streak of bright blue light tearing forward through a dark space, sparks trailing behind it

Dash sounds for games, animation, and video edits

Game dash whoosh

A sharp short burst of air with a bright zip, the default sound for a character dashing forward in an action game.

Warp dash

A sharp zap and a rush that snaps out and back in, for a blink teleport, a short-range warp or a dodge.

Sprint burst

Pounding steps kicking off with a whoosh of air, for a character breaking into a sprint, a chase or a race start.

Laser dash

A thin bright zip streaking past with a crackle, for a light-speed move, an energy dash or a sci-fi dodge.

Double dash

Two quick air whooshes with a short gap, the second higher, for a chained dodge, an air dash combo or a feint.

Hyperdrive jump

An engine whine charging up and launching into a huge rush that vanishes, for a ship jumping to light speed.

Ways to use a dash sound effect

Snap the dash to the first frame of the move

One dash whoosh on the frame a character bursts forward makes the move read instantly, in a gameplay trailer, an action animation or a stream clip.

Keep a chase moving with no score

Sprint bursts and dashes under a long chase keep the pace up with no music at all, in an action film, a runner game or an audio drama.

Put the viewer on a ship ready to jump

A hyperdrive charge and launch tell the audience they are aboard a fast ship before the stars stretch, in a space game, a sci-fi short or a radio play.

Suggest something fast just passed by

A warp dash crossing the soundtrack implies a figure blinked past too fast to see, in a superhero short, a stealth game or an audio story.

FAQs

What is a dash sound effect?
Dash sounds are short bursts of speed: a game character dashing forward with a whoosh, a warp dash blinking out and back, a sprint kicking off, a laser zip and a ship jumping to hyperdrive. They start hard and end fast, so the sound tells the player the move happened instantly.
Where can I get dash sounds for a video?
Generate the burst from a short description. Writing out the whoosh or the warp you need beats trawling a transitions pack, and the sound is made for your move. 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 dash sound effect?
Say what is dashing and how, then generate it. A prompt like "a warp dash, a sharp electric zap and a rushing whoosh that snaps out of existence" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits the animation.
What is the difference between a dash, a whoosh and a swoosh sound?
A dash is a burst of movement by a character or a ship, so it starts hard and often carries a zip or a zap. A whoosh is air passing, used to cover a cut, and a swoosh is a lighter, faster pass. Use the dash when something on screen moves on its own power.
Can I use these dash 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 dash sound not sit right in the edit?
A dash that peaks late feels sluggish. Put the hardest part of the sound on the first frame of the move and let the tail trail behind it. If dashes repeat quickly, pick the shorter takes so each one stays crisp and separate.
