Make some noise with AI sound effect generator, says Adobe, as it promotes its new Firefly feature, an AI sound effect generator able to, the company says,  generate studio-grade sound effects.

If sound libraries thought they were immune to the advances in AI, they will have to think again. Adobe says that its AI sound effect generator allows the user to go beyond sound effect libraries and star creating sounds, adding that this new feature means one thing: “No more endless searches for sounds that don’t match your vision.” It may also mean a few other things, like sound libraries closing their doors…

The whole idea of generating sound for your content using AI instead of traditional processes may sound exciting, but it’s also likely the beginning of the end of another creative industry. But that’s a discussion for another day. Here we look at what the new Adobe Firefly sound effects generator, according to the information shared by Adobe, can do for content creators. As a web-based AI sound generator, Firefly lets you create custom sound effects for any creative project. And with intuitive input and adjustment controls, it’s easy to get started and get results. Promised by Adobe: you’ll create showstopping sound effects, fast.

Adobe’s AI sound generator means “Less searching. More cinematic sound” in Adobe’s own words, as you, and it’s important to say it again “go beyond sound effect libraries and start creating your own with an AI sound effect generator. No more endless searches for sounds that don’t match your vision.”

The process is simple: imagine any sound effect and create it with Generate Sound Effects. Describe the effect, upload reference audio, or act it out into your mic — then easily add your high-quality effect to any video. According to Adobe, you just need to “describe the sound or sound it out” to get results. Type in your description — glass shattering, a lion’s roar, thunder clapping — or act it out into your mic alongside a text prompt to get the timing and intensity just right. And yes, the AI looks into its immense bank of sound created by humans beforehand.

The AI sound generator in Firefly can “Generate studio-grade sound effects” says Adobe, allowing users to create keyboard noises for an office scene, a meowing cat for your new cat treat flavor announcement, or silly effects for your next podcast episode — anything you can imagine.

Everything is easy now, thanks to AI. Now, all you need to do, Adobe says, is to “upload your own video or audio files and use sound generator AI to add effects precisely where you want in your media. You can even layer multiple sounds to create a richer, more immersive soundscape.” Adobe claims that “from podcasts to games to films to social media, an AI sound effect generator can help you explore and create your most impactful work. Laughing crowds, sci-fi lasers, room tone, effects for a colorway drop — make some noise with Firefly.”
