Make the trick happen on the snap
A finger snap on the exact frame something appears or vanishes sells the trick, in a magic video, a fantasy game or an animated short.

Finger sounds for games, animation, and video edits
Finger snap
One sharp bright click of thumb and finger, the finger sound everyone knows, for a cue, a magic trick or a sudden idea.
Nails on chalkboard
A harsh high squeal of nails dragged down a board, the sound that makes an audience wince, for horror, comedy or a classroom.
Fingers drumming
A quick rolling run of fingertips on wood, the sound of waiting, for an impatient boss, a long queue or a decision being weighed.
Flick on a tin can
A sharp hollow ping as a nail flicks a metal can, for a bored character, a test of what is inside or a comic beat in a game.
Singing glass rim
A wet finger circling a glass until it sings a pure tone, for a dinner party, a dreamy transition or a moment of magic.
Fingers on wool
A dry rasping scratch of fingertips dragged hard across a coarse blanket, a small detail for cosy close-ups, ASMR or a hand reaching in the dark.

Ways to use a finger sound effect
Let drumming fingers carry the wait
Fingers drumming on a desk fill a long silent pause where nobody wants to speak first, in a comedy, an office sim game or a podcast sketch.
Edit prompt
Open on a candlelit dinner table
A singing glass rim over the first shot sets an elegant evening before anyone sits down, in a period drama, a mystery game or an audio story.
Edit prompt
Hint at something scratching nearby
Nails dragged down a board from off screen tell the audience something is close and wants in, in a horror film, a scary game or a radio play.

FAQs
What is a finger sound effect?
Finger sounds are the small noises hands make with their fingers: a snap, nails down a chalkboard, drumming on a desk, a flick against metal, a wet finger singing a glass and fingertips scratching cloth. They add life to close-ups and comic moments.
Where can I get finger sounds for a video?
Describe the move and the surface, then generate it, which is far quicker than recording tiny foley yourself. 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 finger sound effect?
Spell out the action, the surface and how close it is. A prompt like "a fingernail flicked hard against an empty tin can, a sharp hollow metallic ping, loud and right at the microphone" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can swap the surface.
What is the difference between a finger snap, a tap and a flick?
A snap is thumb and finger meeting with a bright click, needing no surface. A tap is a fingertip hitting something, and a flick is a nail springing off it, sharper and higher. Pick the one that matches the move your hand makes on screen.
Can I use these finger 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 finger sound not sit right in the edit?
Small sounds pushed too loud start to sound huge and fake. Set the level so it matches how close the hand is to the camera, and line the click up with the exact frame the fingers meet.
