Fly-by object
Use it on a small object that darts past the user so the pass reads as fast and close.

Sound effects for VR
Morphic turns a short description into original sound effects for your VR and AR scenes, so a passing object, a nearby interaction, or an ambient space feels present around the user. You describe the source, its texture and the space it lives in, and generate a clean asset to place in your engine. One workspace covers effects, ambience, and any voiceover.
How it works
- 1describe it
Describe the source on Morphic
Write the sound at its source, like a heavy zip up close or a small object whirring past, describing texture and how near it sits, and Morphic generates a clean mono asset.
- 2
Place it in the engine
Import the file into Unity, Unreal or your VR toolkit and attach it to a spatial audio source on the object, so the engine handles distance, direction and head movement.
- 3
Test in headset
Put the headset on and move around the source to confirm it reads from the right direction and distance, then adjust the falloff and export the build.
Effects your experience can run on
Four source sounds for objects, interactions and ambience you can position in a 3D scene.
Grabbable interaction
Use it on a bag, tool or handle the user picks up so the touch has weight and material.

Enclosed room tone
Use it as the ambient bed of a small enclosed space so silence has a texture and place.

Winged creature flash
Use it on a bird or creature that flaps past to sell fast motion overhead.

What it handles, and what to check
Morphic makes the source sound; your engine and ear handle the spatialization.
What Morphic handles well
- Generating clean source sounds from a description of subject, texture and space
- Producing mono assets that spatialize cleanly in a game engine
- Giving you close, detailed takes for objects that pass near the listener
- Keeping source effects, ambience and any voiceover in one workspace
Where you still want your own ear
- Spatialization itself, which your engine handles from a good mono source
- Syncing the sound to the tracked motion and distance of the object
- Over-use, since too many active sources muddy an immersive scene
- Balancing the mix so nearby and ambient sounds sit at believable levels

FAQs
How do I add sound effects to a VR experience?
Generate a clean source sound on Morphic, import it into Unity, Unreal or your VR toolkit, and attach it to a spatial audio source on the object so the engine handles direction and distance.
Does Morphic create spatial or 3D audio?
Morphic generates the source sound; the spatialization happens in your engine. Describe the effect as a clean, close mono take and let Unity or Unreal position it in the scene.
What makes a good VR sound effect?
A detailed source with a clear sense of texture and closeness. When the engine places it in 3D, those details are what let the user locate and believe the object.
Can I use these sound effects commercially?
Effects you generate on Morphic are yours to use commercially on paid plans, which covers shipped VR and AR titles. Check the current terms for your plan.
Should VR sounds be mono or stereo?
Use a clean mono source for anything the engine will spatialize, since it positions the sound around the user's head. Reserve stereo or ambient beds for non-positional room tone.
Can Morphic make ambience and voiceover for VR too?
Yes. One Morphic workspace covers sound effects, ambience and voiceover, so you can build the source sounds, room tone and character lines for a scene in one place.
