FAQs
What is a waiting sound effect?
It is any sound that tells an audience time is being spent: a clock tick, a hold chime, a sigh or tapping fingers. They stretch a pause so it reads as a delay.
Where can I get waiting sounds for a video?
Describe the cue and generate it. Each sound on this page came from the prompt beside it, so you can start from one and change the speed or the source.
How do I make a custom waiting sound?
Name the cue and its source, such as fingertips drumming on a wooden table, then add how regular it is. Morphic returns a clean version of it.
What is the difference between a clock tick and a foot tap?
A clock tick is quiet, even and mechanical. A foot tap is sharper, softer in rhythm and human, so it carries impatience rather than just time.
Can I use these waiting sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Since the cues are made for your scene, your wait will not sound like every other stock queue.
Why does my clock tick sound too loud or busy?
Add quiet and evenly spaced to the prompt and avoid naming a numeric rate. That keeps it as a plain tick instead of a rapid mechanical rattle.
