FAQs
What is a howling wind sound effect?
Howling wind is strong wind forced through or around something narrow, a window gap, a chimney or a building corner, so the air vibrates into a moaning or shrieking tone. It is the sound of a storm at its height, louder and more tonal than a breeze or a gust.
Where can I get howling wind sounds for a video?
Generate it on Morphic by describing what the wind is howling through. A stock library rarely has the right howl at the right strength, and every sound on this page was made from the prompt printed beside it, so you can start from one and change it.
How do I make a custom howling wind sound effect?
Describe the strength of the wind, what it howls through and how it moves, then generate it. A prompt like "strong wind howling around the corner of a building, a shrieking whistle swelling over a deep roar" gives Morphic enough to work with.
What is the difference between howling wind, a gust and a breeze?
A breeze is light moving air with a gentle rustle, and a gust is one sudden rush that comes and goes. Howling wind is strong and sustained, forced through a narrow gap until it moans or shrieks, so it carries a tone the other two lack.
Can I use these howling wind 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 howling wind sound not sit right in the edit?
A howl that never changes starts to sound like a machine. Let it swell and drop with the action, bring the shriek up on cuts to the outside and duck the low moan under dialogue when the scene moves back inside.
