Land the moment the target is locked
Beeps racing into a single tone hit the exact frame the crosshair settles, in an action film, a flight game or an animated short.
Edit prompt
Radar
A blip on every sweep, beeps racing into a lock-on tone, sharp chirps for a new contact and the whir of a turning antenna. Describe the radar you need and Morphic generates it clean.
- A sweeping blip, a lock-on, a contact alert or a turning antenna
- A sweep built for your control room and the contact on the scope
- Clean, isolated radar audio you download and drop under the scope or the cockpit in your edit
Radar sounds for games, animation, and video edits
Radar sweep
A blip on each pass of the sweep with a hum between, the steady bed for a control room, a bridge or a cockpit.
Target lock-on
Beeps speeding up and merging into one high tone, the moment a system has its target and the tension peaks.
Contact alert
Three chirps and a low tone that say something new has appeared, for a ship, an air base or a sci-fi bridge.
Rotating antenna
A big antenna turning on a geared mount, the mechanical side of radar for a tower, a mast or a base.
Incoming warning
A fast high warble that does not stop, the alarm for a threat closing in on a jet, a ship or a base.
Scanning tone
A smooth tone gliding up and down over crackling static, for a search, a scan or a signal being hunted.

Ways to use a radar sound effect
Hold a long watch with no music
A blip on every sweep carries a tense control room shot where nobody speaks, in a war film, a strategy game or an audio drama.
Edit prompt
Put the audience on a ship or an air base
A big antenna turning on its mount says military post and open water before anyone speaks, in a documentary, a game or a podcast.
Edit prompt
Warn that something is coming before it appears
A contact alert over an empty sky tells viewers a threat is out there, so a thriller or a game never has to show it yet.

FAQs
What is a radar sound effect?
It is the sound associated with a radar system: a blip on each pass of the sweep, beeps that build into a lock-on, chirps for a new contact, warning alarms and the motor of a turning antenna. Real radar is silent to the ear, so these are the tones film and games use to show it working.
Where can I get radar sounds for a video?
Generate them from a prompt. Describing the radar sound you want takes less time than digging through a stock library, and you get the exact sweep, lock or alarm 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 radar sound effect?
Describe what the radar is doing and how the tones behave, then generate it. A prompt like "a radar target lock, fast rising electronic beeps that speed up and merge into one steady high tone" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits the shot.
What is the difference between a radar, a sonar and a scanner sound?
Radar is heard as a blip on a sweep and electronic beeps above water or in the air. Sonar is the long ringing ping of sound travelling through water, with an echo returning. A scanner beep is a short confirm tone from a barcode or security reader, with no sweep at all.
Can I use these radar 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 radar sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually the blips do not land on the sweep. If the line on screen passes a contact and the blip comes a beat later, it reads as pasted on. Time the blip to the sweep crossing, and keep warning tones for when the picture shows a threat.
