FAQs

What is a table sound effect?
It is the sound of a table being struck, tapped, moved or knocked over. A hand slam or fist pound gives a heavy wooden boom, knocking and drumming are crisp taps, and dragging or flipping brings in scrapes and crashes.
Where can I get table sounds for a video?
Generate them from a prompt. Describing the table sound you need takes less time than digging through a stock library, and you get the exact take 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 table sound effect?
Describe the table and what happens to it, then generate it. A prompt like "a fist pounding a solid wooden table, three heavy thumps with a clear gap between each" gives Morphic enough to work with, and you can adjust the wording until it fits the shot.
What is the difference between a table slam, a table knock and a thud?
A table slam is a flat hand hitting the top, a sharp smack with a woody rattle. A table knock is a light rap of the knuckles, crisp and short. A thud is any dull heavy impact, often something dropped, and has no table ring to it.
Can I use these table 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 table sound not sit right in the edit?
Usually the table on screen and the table in the sound do not match. A thin folding table rattles and a heavy oak one booms, so describe the one in your shot. If cups or plates are on it, ask for them rattling too, or the slam will feel empty.
