FAQs
What is a sniff sound effect?
It is a short, sharp intake of air through the nose, used in video, animation and games to show a character smelling something. The feeling around it tells the story: curious, pleased, suspicious or disgusted.
Where can I get sniff sounds for a video?
Food reviews and cartoon detectives both use a sniff on the close-up, so prompt for a curious, pleased or stuffy one and generate it, with no library search. Every clip on this page was made from the prompt printed beside it, so you can start from one.
How do I make a custom sniff sound effect?
Describe the sniff itself in a bracket at the start, with the count and the feeling, such as [two quick loud sniffs through the nose] or [one long loud sniff, pleased]. A short line after it, like "Hmm, interesting" or "Ugh, yuck", gives the take a clear meaning, then generate it and adjust the cue.
What is the difference between a curious, a suspicious and a stuffy sniff?
A curious sniff is light and quick, a character testing the air. A suspicious sniff is slower and sharper, often followed by a question. A stuffy sniff is wet and blocked, the sound of a cold with no smell involved at all.
Can I use these sniff 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 sniff not land in the edit?
A sniff is short and breathy, so it disappears under music. Place it just before the character reacts to the smell, trim any silence at the start, and dip the other audio for a moment so the nose sound reads clearly.
