FAQs
What is a humming sound effect?
It is a short hummed phrase made with the mouth closed, used to show a character is relaxed, busy or lost in thought. In video, games, podcasts and animation it fills small idle moments and shows how someone feels without a line of dialogue.
Where can I get humming 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 hum 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 humming sound effect?
Write the hum as hmm or mmm, add a short word after it, and put the mood in a bracket at the start, such as [humming, happy and light]. A bare hum with no word can come back unclear, so keep one word in the line.
What is the difference between a happy, an off key and a lullaby hum?
A happy hum is light and rises in pitch, the sound of a good mood. An off key hum wobbles around the tune, a comic touch for a character who cannot hold a note. A lullaby hum is slow and steady, made to calm and settle a scene.
Can I use these humming 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 humming not sit right in the edit?
Usually it is buried under music in the same pitch range. Hums sit in the low middle of a voice, so cut or dip the music while it plays, or pick a lower or higher hum that clears the track. Keep it close and dry if the character is on screen.
