FAQ
AI sound effect generator
What should I put in an AI sound effect prompt?+
Name the source, material, action, space, intensity, and tail, for example: heavy wooden door creaking open in a small room.
Can I generate short one-shot sound effects?+
Yes. Text-to-SFX supports short durations such as 1, 2, 3, and 5 seconds.
Is text-to-SFX the same as video-to-SFX?+
No. Text-to-SFX starts from a written prompt. Video-to-SFX uses the uploaded video timing as context.
Can I use generated SFX for games or videos?+
Use depends on plan and current terms. Review Sonilo licensing before shipping commercial work.
