Land the moment the torpedo fires
A thump and a rush of water on the frame the order is given make the shot land, in a war film, a naval game, a trailer or an animation.
Edit prompt
Submarine
The ringing ping of sonar, the deep hum of engines through the hull, and the groan of steel under pressure as the boat dives. Describe the submarine sound you need and Morphic generates it clean.
- A sonar ping, the dive alarm or the hull groaning deep down
- A ping tuned for your control room or silent running scene
- Clean, isolated sub audio you download and lay under the control room or the hull in your edit
Submarine sounds for games, animation, and video edits
Sonar ping
Two bright pulses that ring out and fade, the sound everyone knows a submarine by, for searching and hunting.
Engine hum
A low mechanical drone and propeller throb through the hull, the bed under any scene aboard the boat.
Hull under pressure
Long metallic groans and pops as steel takes the strain, for a deep dive or the moment things go wrong.
Dive alarm
A harsh klaxon honking twice and air venting from the tanks, the signal that the boat is going under.
Hatch sealing
A steel wheel spun shut and a hollow clang, the door closing between compartments or the crew sealed in.
Torpedo launch
A pneumatic thump, rushing water and a fading propeller whine, the shot fired in a naval action scene.

Ways to use a submarine sound effect
Hold a silent running scene without music
A low engine hum fills a long quiet stretch where the crew barely moves, keeping tension in a thriller, a game level or an audio drama.
Edit prompt
Put the audience inside the hull
Steel groaning under pressure places the listener deep below the surface in one sound, for a documentary, a podcast story or a survival game.
Edit prompt
A hunter the viewer never sees
A sonar ping off screen says another vessel is searching for you, so a film, an animation or an audio drama never has to show it.

FAQs
What is a submarine sound effect?
It is a recording of a submarine at work: the sonar pinging, the engines humming, the hull groaning, alarms sounding or a torpedo firing. These sounds tell the audience they are aboard or near a boat deep underwater, often with nothing else in the frame to show it.
Where can I get submarine sounds for a video?
Generate them. Describing the take you want is quicker than digging through a stock library, and you get the exact ping, alarm or hull sound your scene needs. Every sound on this page was made from the prompt printed beside it, so you can start from one and adjust it.
How do I make a custom submarine sound effect?
Describe the part of the submarine and what it is doing, then generate it. A prompt like "a submarine sonar ping, one bright electronic pulse that rings out and fades" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits the shot.
What is the difference between a sonar ping, an engine hum and hull creaks?
A sonar ping is a single bright pulse with a long fade, used to search for something; an engine hum is the steady low drone of the boat moving; and hull creaks are the groans of steel under water pressure. The ping suggests a hunt, the hum a long patrol, and the creaks danger at depth.
Can I use these submarine 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 submarine sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually it is too bright for where the camera is. Inside the hull, sounds are muffled and boomy, while a ping heard through the water rings longer and thinner. Describe whether the listener is aboard or outside the boat, and keep the engine hum low so it sits under dialogue.
