Ways to use a rustle sound effect

Paper crinkling under a still close-up carries a study or office scene without music, in a lesson video or a documentary.

Leaves stirring and straw shifting place the viewer in a field or a barn, in a drama, a podcast intro or a game level.

FAQs
What is a rustle sound effect?
It is the light dry sound of thin material moving: leaves, paper, fabric, plastic or straw. It is lighter and finer than a crunch or a tear.
Where can I get rustle sounds for a video?
Pick the material and generate it. All six sounds here came from the prompt printed beside them, so you can choose one and swap the material in the wording.
How do I make a custom rustle sound?
Name the material, what the hand does and how dry it is. "A hand stirring a pile of dry leaves, crisp crackles with small snaps" gives Morphic a clear source to work from.
What is the difference between a rustle and a crunch?
A rustle is light and papery with many tiny crackles, while a crunch is a heavier break of something brittle underfoot. Use rustle for leaves moving and crunch for them being stepped on.
Can I use these rustle sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Because each rustle is generated, it follows the material you chose rather than a stock clip.
Why does my rustle sound like static?
A very dense, even rustle can read as noise. Ask for single leaves distinct or a short pass with snaps in it, so the ear hears individual crackles.
