A whole scene.
In a few words.

  2. Shape it. Choose a target length and WAV or MP3.
  3. Make it yours. Generate, listen, download, and drop it into your project.

Be specific. “Footsteps” becomes “slow boots on gravel, outdoors, close to the listener.”

A few things to know

Good questions.
Clear answers.

What is Seed Audio 1.0?

Seed Audio 1.0 is ByteDance’s audio creation model. Our sound effects tool uses it to turn descriptions into effects, foley, and layered ambience.

Can I choose the exact duration?

Choose a target from 1 to 30 seconds. The model uses it as a guide, so the finished clip may be shorter or longer. Trim your download in an editor when exact timing matters.

Which audio formats can I download?

Choose WAV for editing or MP3 for smaller files. Both are generated as 44.1 kHz stereo audio and saved in your sound history.

How much does generation use?

1,000 characters from your audio allowance per successful generation. The cost is shown before you generate. Listening to the samples on this page is free.

How do I write a good sound prompt?

Describe what makes the sound, where it happens, and how it changes. Add details such as close or distant, dry or echoing, gentle or intense. Keep each prompt focused on one scene.

Less searching. More creating.
