ElevenLabs SFXAI audio generator
One-shot sound effects, up to 22 s. Generate, listen and download. Failed generations are refunded.
ElevenLabs SFX is ElevenLabs' text-to-sound-effects model. You describe a sound in ordinary language and it returns a one-shot effect, up to 22 seconds. People use it for Foley, game hits, UI ticks, whooshes, rooms, and short designed textures that sit under picture — not dialogue and not full music tracks.
It fits editors, game audio, ads, and product videos that need a specific effect without booking a Foley stage. Work in the web studio or from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor through Elyum's MCP server and REST API.

Why ElevenLabs SFX is good
Describe the sound in plain language — material, space, motion, and mood. ElevenLabs SFX returns a single effect clip, up to 22 seconds, without a separate recording session.
The model is used for cinematic Foley, impacts, whooshes, rooms, and interface ticks that need to lock to a cut or a player action. It is a sound-effects tool, not a speech or music generator.
Elyum charges only when you KEEP a take. Listen first, then keep at 13 credits ($0.13) per render or KILL for a full refund. Nobody else refunds bad generations.
Kept takes download at full quality with no watermark. Commercial use is included. Prices run about 20% under comparable platforms, on one credit balance across the studio.
Generate from the Elyum web studio or from Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor via Elyum's MCP server and REST API. Same keep-or-kill credit rules either way.
Each render is a one-shot clip up to 22 seconds — long enough for a room tone, a designed whoosh, or a short action beat, short enough to drop straight on a timeline.

How it works
- Sign up free on Elyum. The Free plan includes up to 100 credits (our algorithm may grant them); previews do not spend them until you KEEP a take.
- Open the audio studio and choose ElevenLabs SFX from the model list.
- Write a prompt that names the source, space, and motion — for example a metal door slam in a concrete hall, or a soft UI tick.
- Generate a take. Preview it for free, then KEEP it to download clean at 13 credits ($0.13) per render, or KILL it for a full refund.
What people make with it
- Foley and designed hits for YouTube, short films, and social cuts that need a door, footstep, or impact locked to picture.
- Game audio: weapon impacts, pickups, footsteps, and short ambients that match a prompt instead of a stock-library hunt.
- Product and ad spots: logo whooshes, package crinkles, UI ticks, and transition sweeps under a 15–30s cut.
- Podcast and trailer stingers — a riser, hit, or room bed up to 22 seconds without scoring a full track.
- App and web interface sounds: clicks, toggles, errors, and success cues described in plain language.
- Prototype sound design for pitches: generate several takes, keep the one that fits, kill the rest.
