Thump

A fist on a thick wooden door, a sack dropped on floorboards, a boot stomp and three muffled knocks from below. Describe the thump and what it hits, and Morphic generates it clean.

Thump sounds for games, animation, and video edits

Fist on wooden door

One dull heavy knock with a short wood resonance, someone at the door who means it.

Dropped sack

A low thud with a short rumble, a heavy bag landing on boards.

Cushion punch

A soft muffled thump and a little puff of air, a fist sinking into padding.

Boot stomp

A dull low stomp on a hollow board, with a small boom after it.

Trunk lid shut

A heavy dull thump with a soft latch click after it, a car boot pushed closed.

Knocks from below

Three muffled low thumps with gaps, as if something under the floor wants out.

Ways to use a thump sound effect

Punctuate the moment someone arrives at the door

A dull thump on the cut to the door gives a drama, a sketch or a game scene an unmistakable knock without a voice.

Fill a silence with a small heavy sound

A soft cushion thump lands a beat without music, in a vlog, a comedy short or an animated moment.

Edit prompt
Fill a silence with a small heavy sound

Establish a heavy, solid space

A boot stomp on hollow boards places a character in an old building, in a game level, a film or an audio drama.

Imply something moving where we cannot see

FAQs

What is a thump sound effect?
It is a dull, low, heavy impact with no bright edge: a fist on a door, a sack on a floor, a boot on a board. Because there is little high-frequency content, it reads as weight rather than a crack.
Where can I get thump sounds for a video?
Describe the object and the surface, then generate the thump instead of searching for the one that is almost right. Each sound here came from the prompt printed beside it.
How do I make a custom thump sound?
Say what is hitting, what it hits and how dull or muffled it should be. A prompt such as a dropped heavy sack on a wooden floor, one low thud, gives Morphic the weight and the surface.
What is the difference between a thump and a thud?
A thump is slightly softer and rounder, often with a hollow resonance, while a thud is a flatter, heavier landing. If your sound needs a hollow knock, ask for a thump on a door or a board.
Can I use these thump sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Since each is generated for you, nobody else has the same knock.
Why does my thump disappear on small speakers?
Low sounds lose power on phones and laptops. Choose a version with a short resonance or a small click on top, such as the trunk lid, so the thump still reads when the bass cannot play.
