Progress bar

Ticks climbing in pitch, a tone rising as the bar fills, a bright chime at full and the flat buzz of a stalled bar. Describe the progress bar you need and Morphic generates it clean.

  • A ticking fill, a rising tone, a completion chime or a bar that stalls and errors
  • A fill tone tuned to your loading screen and the moment it completes
  • Clean, isolated progress bar audio you download and drop under the fill in your edit or game

Progress bar sounds for games, apps, and video edits

Ticking fill

A run of ticks climbing in pitch while the bar creeps along, for a transfer, an install or a hacking scene.

Completion chime

The bar hitting full and resolving on a bright chime, the moment a task, upload or level is done.

Stepped clicks

Separate clicks rising one step at a time, for a bar that jumps in chunks or a setup with stages.

Rising tone

One smooth tone climbing as the bar fills, the cleanest bed to hold under a long wait on screen.

Stall and error

A fill that stops halfway and drops into a dull buzz, for a failed upload or a task that breaks.

Game bar burst

A fast sparkling fill that swells into a burst, for experience points, a charge meter or a reward.

Ways to use a progress bar sound effect

Mark the second a task is done

A bright chime as the bar hits full tells viewers the job is finished, in an app demo, an explainer video or a game menu.

Edit prompt
Mark the second a task is done

Hold a waiting screen with no music

A tone rising steadily under a long fill keeps a tutorial, a podcast segment or a loading screen moving while nothing else happens.

Make a hacking scene feel like it is working

Ticks climbing in pitch over a dark screen give a thriller, an animation or a puzzle game the feel of a machine racing against time.

Show a transfer has failed before anyone says it

A fill that stalls and drops into a buzz tells the audience the upload broke, so a film or a game never needs an error message.

FAQs

What is a progress bar sound effect?
It is the sound that follows a bar filling on screen: ticks or a tone climbing in pitch, often ending on a chime when it reaches full. It gives a wait a sense of movement and tells the viewer when the task is done, or that it has failed.
Where can I get progress bar sounds for a video?
Generate them from a prompt. Describing the fill and ending you want takes less time than digging through a stock library, and you get the exact progress bar sound your scene needs. 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 progress bar sound effect?
Describe how the bar fills and how it ends, then generate it. A prompt like "a digital progress bar filling, short electronic ticks climbing in pitch" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits the shot.
What is the difference between a progress bar, a loading and a notification sound?
A progress bar sound climbs, because it follows a fill from empty to full. A loading sound circles or pulses in place while something waits with no end in sight. A notification is a single alert that arrives once, with no build before it.
Can I use these progress bar 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 progress bar sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually the climb and the fill run at different speeds. If the tone reaches the top while the bar is still half empty, it reads as pasted on. Trim or stretch the fill to the on-screen bar, and land the chime on the frame it reaches full.
