Ways to use a sonic boom sound effect

Hit the instant a jet breaks the sound barrier

A hard double crack on the frame the plane bursts through gives the shot its punch, in an air show film, a flight game or an animated action scene.

FAQs

What is a sonic boom sound effect?
It is the loud bang a supersonic object creates as it passes, usually a sharp double crack followed by a rumbling roll. It is different from an explosion because it comes from air, not a blast.
Where can I get sonic boom sounds for a video?
Describe the crack, the roll and the distance, then generate it. Every sound on this page was made from the prompt shown beside it.
How do I make a custom sonic boom?
Specify the count, such as a double crack, then the tail, a fast decay or a long rumble. Add the whine of the pass if the jet should be heard first.
Why is a sonic boom a double bang?
The sharp pair comes from two shock fronts reaching the listener one after another. In sound design, two close cracks are what reads as a sonic boom.
Can I use these boom sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Each boom is generated for your project, not shared in a stock pack.
Why does my boom sound like an explosion?
An explosion has a single bloom and a burning crackle. Ask for two close cracks with no fire, then a rolling rumble, and it reads as supersonic.
