FAQs
What is a hiccup sound effect?
It is the short, sharp "hic" a person makes when their breath catches, used in video, animation and games for comedy and awkward moments. A single hic interrupts, while a run of them becomes a running gag.
Where can I get hiccup sounds for a video?
A hiccup gag works when the rhythm fits the cut, so prompt for a single hic or a run that will not stop and generate it on the spot. Each clip here was made from the prompt printed beside it, so pick one as your starting point and skip the sound board.
How do I make a custom hiccup sound effect?
Write the hiccup as "Hic" and put the feeling in a bracket at the start, such as [hiccups, annoyed] or [small, polite hiccup]. Add a word or two after it, like "excuse me", then generate it and adjust the cue until it fits.
What is the difference between a single hiccup, a hiccup run and an annoyed hiccup?
A single hiccup is one sudden jolt that interrupts a line. A hiccup run is two or three in a row with short gaps, so the problem keeps going. An annoyed hiccup adds a groan after it, which tells the viewer the character is fed up.
Can I use these hiccup 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 hiccup not land in the edit?
Timing matters more than volume. Cut the hiccup in on a pause or mid-word so it clearly interrupts, and for a run, leave a little more space before each one. A slight jump in the picture on each hic helps it read as funny.
