Free whoosh sound effects to shape into your own
The collection covers swipes, swishes, fly-bys, zooms and a reverse whoosh that slams into a hit. Each whoosh is a few bands of filtered noise that rise and fall, so one slider makes it faster, heavier or thinner. A whoosh shaped in the editor fits the exact cut in your motion graphics video. Your AI agent can time a whoosh to your edit with you.

Sounds from an AI assistant
Notify Sound works as an MCP server for AI assistants. The assistant designs every layer of a sound and returns a link. The link opens that sound in the editor.

The assistant takes a plain request like this one, once Notify Sound is connected.
Use Notify Sound to make a fast whoosh for a title that slides into my video, airy and under half a second. Send me the link.
Whoosh transitions for motion graphics and YouTube videos
Title Swipe fits a line of text that slides onto the screen. Zoom In fits a fast push into a shot. Both sounds are made from scratch with a synth, with no samples inside.
Trailer whooshes for TikTok and Instagram edits
Deep Whoosh and Reverse Whoosh build up to a cut and land on it. Every whoosh here is royalty-free and free for commercial use with credit.
Swings and fly-bys for Unity and Godot games
Sword Swish marks a melee attack with two cuts and a steel ring. Fly By marks a ship or a car passing the camera from left to right.
A sent-message whoosh on iPhone and Android
Mail Whoosh and Paper Plane work as an iPhone text tone or an Android notification sound. On Android, Slack or WhatsApp can get a whoosh of its own.
Shaping a whoosh
What makes a whoosh sound heavy or fast?
Pitch and Sharpness of the noise layers set the weight. Deep Whoosh starts from brown noise at 180 Hz with a Sharpness of 1, a wide, low rush. Sword Swish uses white noise at 2,500 Hz with a Sharpness of 8, a thin band that sounds like a blade.
How does Reverse Whoosh stop so hard?
Reverse Whoosh has an Attack of 0.75 seconds and a Ring out of 0.015 seconds on every noise layer. The air swells for most of the sound and cuts off at once. A low hit starts after 0.8 seconds, exactly where the swell ends.
How do I make a whoosh longer for a slow shot?
Note length sets how long the air holds, and Attack sets how long it takes to build. Fly By holds for 1.2 seconds, and its Slide drops the pitch by 3 to 5 semitones as the jet passes. A longer Note length stretches that drop over a slower pass.
Make your own sounds
- Stack layers of tone or noise and shape each one with its own sliders.
- Change pitch, length, echo and tone while the sound loops, so you hear every move.
- Save to your library, share a link, and download the sound when it sounds right.
