FAQs

What is a scribble sound effect?
It is the sound of fast, loose strokes with a pencil, pen, marker or crayon. It adds energy to a drawing or note-taking shot where a slow line would feel wrong.
Where can I get scribble sounds for a video?
Describe the tool and the stroke and generate it, so the scribble matches your shot rather than a generic stock clip. Each sound here shows its prompt so you can start from one.
How do I make a custom scribble sound?
Name the tool, then the motion and the speed. A prompt like "a thick marker scribbling in loose circles, soft and squeaky" tells Morphic what to build.
What is the difference between a scribble and a scratch on paper?
A scribble is many quick strokes back and forth with a drawing tool, usually fast and rhythmic. A scratch can be one slow drag or a rasp, so scribbles feel busier and more urgent.
Can I use these scribble sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Each scribble is made for you, so it is not the clip everyone else dropped in.
Why does my scribble sound too soft?
Pencil on paper is naturally quiet. Ask for a close recording, name a harder tool such as a ballpoint or crayon, and raise the level in your edit if the dialogue sits over it.
