Flare

The scratch and fizz of a hand flare struck alight, the thump and hiss of one fired skyward, and the spitting sizzle of one burning on the road. Describe the flare you need and Morphic generates it clean.

  • The exact flare: struck by hand, fired skyward or sizzling on the road
  • A fizz made for your roadside breakdown, sea rescue or night signal
  • Comes back as clean, isolated audio you download and drop on the frame the flare catches

Flare sounds for games, animation, and video edits

Hand flare strike

A scratchy strike, a fizzing burst and a steady sizzle, for the moment a character lights a flare in the dark.

Flare fired skyward

A hollow thump and a climbing whistle of hiss, for a distress signal from a boat, a stranded crew or a lost hiker.

Burning sizzle

An unbroken spitting hiss with small pops, for a flare held up in a tunnel, a cave or a road at the scene of a crash.

Signal flare overhead

A dull pop high up and a long crackling hiss as it drifts, for a signal seen across a valley, a sea or a battlefield.

Flare tossed on the road

A clatter and a sharp sizzle as it lands, for a warning flare thrown down behind a stopped car or across a path.

Flare burning out

An uneven sputter and a last fizz, for the end of the light, the moment the dark comes back in a horror or survival scene.

Ways to use a flare sound effect

Mark the moment the rescue signal goes up

A thump and climbing hiss on the frame the flare launches makes the call for help land, in a survival film, a game or a podcast drama.

Carry a roadside wait without music

A steady sizzle carries a long still shot of a crash site or a broken-down car with nobody talking, in film, animation or audio drama.

Set a scene on a dark coastline

A flare drifting down overhead says a ship or a crew is in trouble out there before the camera finds them, in film, games or radio drama.

Let a flare spark to life just off screen

A strike and fizz from off camera says someone nearby has lit a flare, before its red light creeps into the shot.

FAQs

What is a flare sound effect?
It is the sound of a signal flare: the strike and fizz as a hand flare lights, the thump and hiss of one fired into the sky, and the steady spitting sizzle of the burning chemical. Flares mean danger or rescue, so the sound tells the audience someone needs to be found.
Where can I get flare sounds for a video?
Generate them from a prompt. Describing the flare you need takes less time than digging through a stock library, and the exact take your scene needs is generated for you. 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 flare sound effect?
Describe the flare and the stage you want, then generate it. A prompt like "a burning hand flare sizzling and spitting, an unbroken crackling hiss of burning chemical with small sharp pops" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits the shot.
What is the difference between a flare and a firework sound?
A flare is built to burn long and bright, so its sound is a strike or launch followed by a steady sizzle that can run for a long time. A firework is built to burst, a short whistle or thump and then a bang and a crackle that are over in seconds. Use the flare when the light needs to stay on screen.
Can I use these flare 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 flare sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually the burn is too short or too even. A flare has a bright bursting start, a long uneven sizzle with pops and a sputtering end, so put the strike on the frame the light appears and let the sizzle run as long as the red glow is in shot. A flare fired skyward needs the thump at the launch and the hiss trailing upward.
