Suggest a blast going off out of view

A calm fire in the hole as the camera stays on the crew implies a charge going off nearby, in a film scene, a game cutscene or an audio drama.

FAQs

What is a fire in the hole sound effect?
It is the spoken warning shouted just before an explosive goes off, used in mining, demolition and action scenes, and as a reaction in game clips. The delivery sets the tone, from an urgent shout to a calm, routine call.
Where can I get fire in the hole sounds for a video?
Generate them from a prompt. Describing the delivery you need is quicker than digging through a sound board, and you get the exact warning your clip calls for. Every clip 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 fire in the hole sound effect?
Write the line and add a delivery tag at the start, such as [gruff, commanding] or [panicked, fast]. Keep it to the warning itself, then generate it and adjust the tag until the voice fits your character.
What is the difference between an urgent, a calm and a whispered fire in the hole?
An urgent call is loud and clipped, a real warning to clear the area. A calm call is level and routine, the sound of a crew that has done it many times. A whispered call is low and close, made for stealth moments where the plan has to stay hidden.
Can I use these fire in the hole 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 fire in the hole not sit right in the edit?
Usually it is the gap before the blast. The call needs a short breath of space before the explosion so both read clearly, so slide it earlier until the last word ends just ahead of the hit. Duck the music under the line so the warning cuts through.
