Clunk a new drive into the rack on the cut
One latch clunk on the frame the drive slides home gives a tech explainer its payoff, in a product video, a game cutscene or an animated short.

Data
Data processing as a dense chatter of clicks, a transfer whirring along and a server rack running behind a locked door. Describe the data sound your scene needs and Morphic generates it clean.
- Processing chatter, a transfer whir or a server rack, exactly as written
- Fitted to the progress bar crawling across your upload scene
- Clean data cues to run under a loading shot or a server room
Data sounds for games, animation, and video edits
Data processing
A dense chatter of small clicks and ticks, the sound of a machine crunching numbers under a loading or analysis shot.
Data transfer whir
A smooth whir with fluttering bit chirps on top, for files moving between devices, a sync or a big upload.
Server rack fans
Dense cooling fans and ticking drives, the steady bed of a data centre, a basement server or a hacker hideout.
Hard drive seek
Quick mechanical clicks and chattering scratches, for an old drive reading, a file being searched or a disk failing.
Tape drive spool
Reels whirring up to speed and a hard stop click, for a retro mainframe, a backup running or an archive being searched.
Drive slotted in
A smooth metal slide and a firm latch clunk, for a drive pushed into a server bay, a backup swapped or a rack being built.

Ways to use a data sound effect
Fill a long loading shot with no music
Processing chatter under a waiting screen tells the viewer work is happening, keeping a tutorial, a sci-fi game or a podcast intro moving.
Edit prompt
Put the audience inside a data centre
Server fans and seeking drives set a cold, crowded machine room before any wide shot, in a thriller, a documentary or a level in a game.
Edit prompt
Hint at a transfer running in secret
A data whir heard from behind a closed door suggests files are being copied without showing it, in a spy drama, a heist game or an audio story.

FAQs
What is a data sound effect?
Information being handled has its own noises: dense processing clicks, the whir of a transfer, server fans, a drive seeking and an old tape drive spooling. Most data sounds are steady beds, so they can sit under a loading shot or a server room for as long as it runs.
Where can I get data sounds for a video?
Make them from a description. Asking for the whir or the chatter you hear in your head saves digging through tech packs, and the result is made for your shot. 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 data sound effect?
Say what the data is doing and how dense the sound is, then generate it. A prompt like "a server rack running, dense cooling fans whirring with hard drives ticking" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can change the wording until it fits the room.
What is the difference between data processing, data transfer and server sounds?
Processing is busy and granular, a chatter of clicks that suggests thinking. A transfer is smoother, a whir that moves from one place to another, and a server is the room itself, fans and drives that never stop. Use processing on the screen and the server under the room.
Can I use these data 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 data sound not sit right in the edit?
Beds like processing chatter get tiring when they sit too loud for too long. Keep them low under dialogue and bring them up only when the screen is the focus. End a loading shot on a hard stop, like the tape drive click, so the wait has a clear finish.
