Punctuate an awkward moment with a sudden stop
A record scratch cut to the punchline frame makes the whole scene freeze, in a comedy sketch, a sitcom or a short-form video.
Edit prompt
Silence
A record scratch that stops into stillness, a faint held tone, a muffled hush and a crowd roar cut off in a breath. Describe the silence your scene needs and Morphic generates the cue that leads into it.

Silence sounds for games, animation, and video edits
Record scratch stop
A fast record scratch and an abrupt stop, then a faint soft hiss as everything goes still.
Held near-silence
A barely audible, steady low tone held through the clip, the tense hush before something happens.
Muffled hush
A loud sound dropping into a dull muffled hush, as if a hand were cupped over the speakers.
Roar cut off
A loud sustained crowd-like roar chopped off in a breath, leaving a soft hissing stillness.
Ear ring fade
A hard bang and then a thin high ringing that slowly thins out to nothing, the stunned quiet after an explosion.
Tone fading to stillness
A single sustained tone that slowly drops in volume until it vanishes, a gentle fall into quiet.

Ways to use a silence sound effect
Hold a pause without music
A faint held tone under a still shot keeps the silence tense, in a thriller, a game cutscene or an audio drama.
Edit prompt
Establish the stunned quiet after an explosion
An ear ring fading to nothing tells the viewer the world has gone numb, in a war film, a shooter game or an animated short.
Edit prompt
Imply a crowd that has stopped talking
A roar cut off to stillness tells the viewer a hall just went quiet, in a courtroom drama, a podcast or a game level.

FAQs
What is a silence sound effect?
It is the cue that gets the viewer into quiet: a record scratch that stops, a muffled hush, a roar cut short. A recording of nothing would return an empty file, so each cue has a clear time shape.
Where can I get silence sounds for a video?
Describe the drop into quiet you want and generate it, rather than muting a clip by hand. Each sound here came from the prompt beside it, so you can adapt one.
How do I make a custom silence cue?
Say what sound is cut, how abruptly it stops and what faint hiss is left. A prompt like "a loud wash of noise chopped off, then only a faint soft hiss" gives Morphic a clear shape.
What is the difference between a hush and a record scratch?
A hush is gradual and soft, the sound sinking into dullness. A record scratch is a sudden mechanical stop that reads as a joke or a freeze-frame.
Can I use these silence cues commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. They are generated for you, so the cut-to-quiet is yours.
Why does my silence cue come back with a faint hiss?
The model keeps a soft bed so the clip is not empty. Trim the tail in your edit or lower its level if you want the quiet to read as complete.
