Laptop sounds for video, animation, and games

Lid closing

A smooth swing and a soft clap as the lid meets the base, the end of a work session or a conversation.

Lid opening

A small hinge creak and a flex as the screen tilts back, the quiet start of someone sitting down to work.

Fan spinning up

A thin whir climbing to a steady hiss, the sound of a machine working hard on a render, a game or a long night.

Charger click

A firm click into the port and a soft chime, a small everyday cue that someone has just sat back down.

Trackpad taps

Three light crisp clicks with gaps between them, for someone choosing, confirming or sending something.

Set down on a desk

A flat knock with a slight rattle of the lid, the sound of a laptop put down in a hurry or with frustration.

Ways to use a laptop sound effect

Mark the moment someone ends the call

A lid clap on the last line of a remote meeting gives a drama, a comedy sketch or an animated short a clean full stop.

Fill a late-night work scene without music

A steady fan whir carries long shots of someone working alone, so a short film, a vlog or a game scene never drops into dead air.

Show someone settling in for the day

A lid creaking open tells viewers the workday has started, in a morning routine video, a podcast scene or an office comedy.

Let viewers know someone is back at their desk

A charger clicking in from off camera says a character has returned, so your scene or audio drama can hold their entrance.

FAQs

What is a laptop sound effect?
It is the sound of a laptop being handled or working, such as the lid opening or closing, the fan spinning up, a charger clicking in or the trackpad being tapped. These small sounds tell the audience what someone is doing at their computer without showing the screen.
Where can I get laptop sounds for a video?
Generate them. Describing the laptop moment you want takes less time than digging through a stock library, and you get a sound that matches the action on screen. 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 laptop sound effect?
Describe the part of the laptop and what it is doing, then generate it. A prompt like "a laptop lid closed shut, a smooth hinge swing ending in a soft magnetic clap" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits the shot.
What is the difference between a lid close, a lid open and a desk knock?
A lid close is a short swing that ends in a soft clap as the screen meets the base. A lid open is quieter, a stiff hinge creak with a little flex. A desk knock is the whole laptop landing on a surface, flatter and heavier, with a rattle from the lid.
Can I use these laptop 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 laptop sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually the sound is too big for such a small, light object. A heavy slam under a thin laptop closing sounds fake. Ask for a soft clap or a light creak, keep it close, and line the clap up with the exact frame the lid touches down.
