Lighter sounds for film, games, and animation
Flip-top strike
A clink, a wheel strike and a soft whoosh, the classic lighter sound for a cool, unhurried character beat.
Plastic lighter strike
A gritty scrape and a small hiss, the everyday lighter for lighting a candle, a gas stove or a campfire.
Failing to catch
Three strikes that spark and die, for nerves, a cold night or a moment where nothing is going right.
Steady flame
A soft unbroken hiss of burning gas, a quiet bed for a lighter held up to see in the dark or to read a scrap of paper.
Lid clacks
A metal lid flipped open and snapped shut twice, the restless habit of a character who is thinking or waiting.
Torch lighter
A sharp snap and a roaring jet of flame, for a hotter, harder lighter in a workshop, a kitchen or an action scene.

Ways to use a lighter sound effect
Fill a long pause with no music
A steady flame hiss holds a silent moment by lighter light, so a short film, a game or a podcast scene never drops into dead air.
Edit prompt
Set a candlelit evening at home
A plastic lighter catching as candles are lit tells viewers the evening has started, in a romance, a lifestyle video or an audio drama.
Edit prompt
Let the audience hear someone fumbling for a flame in the dark
Strikes that spark and fail from a black screen say someone is lost and scared, so your horror scene or podcast builds dread first.

FAQs
What is a lighter sound effect?
It is the sound of a lighter being opened, struck and lit, along with the flame itself. A metal flip-top gives a bright clink, a plastic lighter a gritty wheel scrape, and a torch lighter a snap and a roar, so the type you pick says a lot about the character holding it.
Where can I get lighter sounds for a video?
Generate them. Describing the lighter and the strike takes less time than digging through a stock library, and you get a sound that matches the hands 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 lighter sound effect?
Describe the type of lighter, how it is struck and whether it catches, then generate it. A prompt like "a metal flip-top lighter flicked open with a bright clink, the wheel struck and the flame catching" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits.
What is the difference between a flip-top, a plastic and a torch lighter sound?
A metal flip-top has a bright clink as the lid opens and a firm clack as it closes, around the wheel strike. A plastic lighter is just a gritty scrape and a small hiss. A torch lighter clicks on with a sharp snap and burns as a loud, narrow jet.
Can I use these lighter 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 lighter sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually the strike and the flame are out of step with the thumb on screen. A whoosh that lands before the flame appears gives the cut away. Line the scrape up with the thumb moving down and the whoosh with the first frame of flame, and keep the hiss low after it.
