# AI sound effect generator and voice-over for games Describe a sound and get it in seconds, or pick a voice and turn your script into speech. Sloyd Audio creates sound effects, seamless loops, and placeholder voice-over from text, right in the browser. ## What is Sloyd Audio? Sloyd Audio is an AI sound effect generator and text-to-speech tool for game developers. Type a prompt to get a sound effect from 0.5 to 30 seconds long, loop it seamlessly, or pick a voice and turn up to 5,000 characters into speech. Every clip downloads as an MP3. ## Highlights - **Sound In Seconds** — Stop digging through sound libraries for the one door creak that fits. Describe it in plain words and get a new sound effect made for your scene. - **Voice Before Casting** — Hear your dialogue in context while the script is still changing. Placeholder voice-over lets you test pacing and story before you record. - **Next To Your Assets** — Make audio in the same workspace as your 3D models, images, and animations, and find every clip again in My Activity. ## Features ### Describe it, hear it Write a short prompt, set the length on a slider or let Auto duration pick it, and generate. Use prompt influence to choose between following your words exactly and exploring more variation. ### A library of ready-made voices Browse the voice library, preview each voice, and favorite the ones that fit your characters. Sloyd remembers your last voice, and the multilingual speech model reads your lines naturally, from calm narration to urgent warnings. ### Tune the delivery Voice stability sets how steady or expressive a voice sounds. Voice closeness sets how closely the speech sticks to the chosen voice. For sound effects, duration and prompt influence shape every take. ### Every clip saved and ready to download Each generation is saved to My Activity next to your other Sloyd creations, under the Audio filter. Play it back in the browser and download it as an MP3 to drop into Unity, Unreal, Godot, or your editor. ## How to generate sound effects with AI 1. **Describe the sound** — Open Audio, choose Sound Effects or Text to Speech, and type a prompt such as "a crisp UI button click" or the lines your character should say. 2. **Set it up and generate** — Pick a duration or Auto duration, turn on Loop, and choose how many variations you want. For speech, pick a voice and adjust voice stability and voice closeness. Then hit Generate. 3. **Listen and download** — Play each result in the browser, keep the best take, and download it as an MP3 ready for your game engine or video editor. ## Use cases ### Sound Effects From Text Type what you hear: "a heavy wooden door creaking open" or "footsteps on wet gravel". Sloyd generates a matching sound effect from 0.5 to 30 seconds long. ### Text to Speech Voice-Over Paste up to 5,000 characters of dialogue, choose a voice from the library, and get natural speech for narrators, NPCs, tutorials, and trailers. ### Seamless Ambient Loops Turn on Loop for forest ambience, rain, engine hums, or crowd noise that repeats without a click or gap, ready for background audio. ### Impacts, Hits, and Combat Sword clashes, cinematic hits, explosions, and magic casts. Adjust prompt influence to follow your words closely or get more varied takes. ### UI Clicks and Menu Sounds Make a matching set of button clicks, coin pickups, and notification chimes, so your menus and HUD sound like one game. ### Variations To Choose From Generate one, two, or four variations of the same sound in one go, then keep the take that fits the moment best. ## FAQ ### What is an AI sound effect generator?
