What will your next scene sound like?

SFX v3 is ElevenLabs’ text-to-sound-effects model. Begin with an audible action, then add the material, space or sequence that makes it specific. Choose a compatible model in the workspace and listen to the result in context.

Foley and everyday actions

Describe a cup touching a desk, a key turning or boots crossing gravel. A clear source and action give you a useful starting point.

Atmosphere and sound scenes

Build a background description, then list foreground events in order. Generate separate clips when you need independent timing and level control.

Create a 15-second vertical ad for over-ear headphones: a young woman puts them on, presses play, and the noisy world fades away as the music takes over. Intimate, moody and cinematic.

Completed

Your headphone ad is ready

15s · 9:16 · Close-up → press play → the world fades → eyes closed, lost in the music. Adjust the pacing or music direction any time.
