Howler monkey

Male howler monkeys booming across the canopy, a whole troop roaring in waves and grunts that build into a full call. Describe the howler monkey sound you need and Morphic generates it clean.

  • Roars made for your jungle river crossing, two rival males trading booms overhead
  • Clean howler calls with no birds or insects over them, ready for film, games or podcasts

Howler monkey sounds for games, animation, and video edits

Male howler roar

The deep booming roar of a male howler, for a rainforest opening, a wildlife film or a jungle level waking up.

Whole troop roaring

A whole troop roaring in waves, for first light over the canopy, a jungle expedition or a game map full of life.

Grunts into a roar

Short grunts building into the full roar, for a monkey warming up, a tense trek or a call that slowly takes over.

Young howler cry

A thinner howl that cracks and wavers, for a juvenile in the group, a nature documentary or a lighter jungle moment.

Rival males roaring

Two rival males trading deep roars at close range, for a territory standoff, a tense nature scene or a fight in the canopy.

Branches and roar

Leaves thrashing as a howler moves, then a short roar, for something heavy in the trees right above the path.

FAQs

What is a howler monkey sound effect?
Howler monkey sounds are the deep booming roars of a large monkey from the forests of Central and South America. Males have an enlarged hollow throat bone that turns each call into a roar so deep it carries across the canopy.
Where can I get howler monkey sounds for a video?
Describe the call and generate it on Morphic. Stock libraries rarely have a howler at the right distance and intensity, and every sound on this page was made from the prompt printed beside it, so you can take one and change it.
How do I make a custom howler monkey sound effect?
Say how many howlers you want, how they call and how far away they are, then generate it. A prompt like "a howler monkey grunting in short deep barks that build up and break into a long hollow roar" gives Morphic enough to work with.
What is the difference between a howler monkey and other monkey sounds?
Most monkeys chatter, screech and hoot in high, quick calls. A howler roars instead, a deep, hollow, sustained boom, which is why it reads as something much larger than a monkey.
Can I use these howler monkey 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 howler monkey sound not sit right in the edit?
A howler roar is so deep that it can swamp the rest of the scene. Keep a troop chorus low and far back as a bed, and bring a single close roar up only on the moment the animal is meant to feel right overhead.
