Let the held breath go as the guard walks past
A held breath let out in a burst on the frame the footsteps fade tells the viewer the hiding character is safe, in a stealth game, a thriller or an animation.
Edit prompt
Deep breath
One slow breath drawn deep and let go, a big gulp of air held and released in a burst and a shaky deep breath before a speech. Describe the deep breath you need and Morphic generates it clean.
- A calming breath, a held gulp, a weary sigh or a shaky breath, as described
- Drawn as your hiker steps out of the tent into the cold morning air
- Isolated breath with the room stripped out, ready to sit under a close-up

FAQs
What is a deep breath sound effect?
A deep breath sound effect is a single full breath, drawn in deeply and let go, recorded close so every bit of air is heard. It marks a decision, a moment of calm or a character gathering courage, which ongoing breathing cannot do.
Where can I get deep breath sounds for a video?
Spell out the breath and Morphic generates it. That is quicker than combing a library for one breath at the right depth and speed, and every sound on this page was made from the prompt printed beside it, so you can start from one.
How do I make a custom deep breath sound effect?
Say how deep the breath is, which way the air moves and how it ends, then generate. A prompt like "one big fast breath sucked in through the mouth and held, then let out in a burst" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can slow it or add a shake.
What is the difference between a deep breath, an inhale and breathing?
An inhale is only the breath in. A deep breath is one complete cycle, a full draw of air and its release, often with a pause at the top. Breathing is the ongoing rhythm of many breaths, used as a bed under a scene.
Can I use these deep breath 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 deep breath sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually the breath is too far from the microphone or out of sync with the chest on screen. Use a close take, line the in-breath up with the shoulders rising, and keep the release under any line that follows. Trim the silence before it.
