Cut the buzz the moment the light dies
A flickering buzz that drops out on the frame the tube goes dark gives the shot its jolt, in a horror short, a game level or an animated scene.

A steady neon buzz carries a long wide shot with no score, keeping a short film, a mood video or a podcast scene alive and slightly uneasy.

FAQs
What is an electric buzz sound effect?
An electric buzz sound effect is the steady hum and buzz of electricity at work: a neon sign, a fluorescent tube, a transformer or a power line. It sits under a scene as a constant bed, which is what separates it from the short crack of a spark or a shock.
Where can I get electric buzz sounds for a video?
Generating one is quicker than searching. Describe the light or wire you want, and the exact buzz your scene needs comes back ready to use. 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 electric buzz sound effect?
Start with the source and its pitch, then generate it. A prompt like "a glowing neon tube buzzing on its transformer, a thin high buzz over a low hum" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits the shot.
What is the difference between an electric buzz, a spark and a shock?
A buzz is continuous, electricity humming through a light, a wire or a transformer. A spark is a short crackle where current jumps a gap, and a shock is the zap of current hitting a character, so use the buzz as a bed and the other two as moments.
Can I use these electric buzz 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 electric buzz sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually the pitch is fighting the dialogue. A high neon buzz sits in the same range as voices, so pull it down under speech, or pick a lower transformer drone for scenes with a lot of talk.
