Hit the instant the wave breaks over the shore
The crashing crest on the exact frame of impact gives a disaster scene its peak, in a film, a game cutscene or an animated warning video.

Tsunami
A swell drawing back and rising, a crest crashing down, a rush of churning water pushing debris and a long retreat sucking back to sea. Describe the wave you need and Morphic generates it as clean audio.

Tsunami sounds for games, animation, and video edits
Rising swell
A low surge of water gathering strength, the warning stage before a wave arrives in a disaster film, a game level or an animated short.
Crest crashing down
A towering crest folding over and hitting the ground in one heavy collapse, the impact moment of a wave scene.
Debris-laden rush
Churning water carrying splintering wood and scraping metal, for a flood rushing through a street or a ruined harbour.
Long drain back
Water sucking back toward the sea with a trickling, gurgling pull, the eerie quiet-then-roar before the main wave.
Deep water rumble
A low pressure throb that sits under the visuals, for a wave still offshore or a cut to the sea floor.
Wave hits a structure
Water slamming against walls and pouring through gaps, a splintering crack and a rushing flood.

Ways to use a tsunami sound effect
Fill the silence before the water arrives
A rising swell and a long drain back build dread without any music, in a documentary recreation, a survival game or an audio drama.
Edit prompt
Show the sea turning dangerous
A deep underwater rumble tells the audience the ocean has changed, in a coastal thriller, a game level or a school safety animation.
Edit prompt
Let the audience hear a wave they never see
A flood roar and splintering debris through a closed door implies the destruction outside, in a horror short, a radio drama or a game trailer.

FAQs
What is a tsunami sound effect?
It is the sound of a massive wave surge: the rising swell, the heavy crash of the crest and the roar of water rushing inland. Searchers usually want the whole sequence, from the warning to the aftermath.
Where can I get tsunami sounds for a video?
Describe the part of the wave you want and generate it. Every sound on this page was made from the prompt printed beside it, so you can start from one and change the weight, the debris or the length.
How do I make a custom tsunami sound effect?
Write out what the water is doing in plain physical terms, such as a crest collapsing or a flood carrying splintering wood. A mass of water works best described as its parts, the slam, the foam and the debris, rather than by one big word.
What is the difference between a swell, a crash and a drain back?
A swell is a low rising whoosh that builds, a crash is one heavy impact followed by a spreading roar, and a drain back is a thinning gurgle as water retreats. Using all three in order tells the story of a wave by ear.
Can I use these tsunami sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Each sound is generated for you, so it will not appear in someone else's project.
Why does my tsunami sound feel thin?
Water sounds read as small when only one layer is present. Add the debris, the foam and the low rumble underneath, and make the crash land on the frame of impact so the weight is heard as well as seen.
