Write the action, material, perspective, mood, and anything the generation should exclude, such as speech or music.
Audio Lab · live beta
Generate game audio and SFX from a text prompt
Create impacts, UI cues, Foley, machinery, creatures, and loopable ambience with precise timing and prompt controls. Preview the result and download it as an MP3.

how it works
From a sound-design brief to an importable game asset
Set timing and adherence
Choose 0.5–30 seconds and control how literally the model follows your sound-design prompt.
Make it loop cleanly
Enable seamless looping for rain, engines, room tone, magical fields, and other continuous ambience.
Preview and download
Listen in the browser, then download a 44.1 kHz MP3 ready to organize inside your game project.
real audio lab screenshots
Actual SFX and seamless-loop configurations
These WebP captures come from the real Audio Lab interface. The general workspace shows a sci-fi door SFX brief, the close-up maps its controls, and the third capture shows an honest short instrumental loop configuration with seamless mode enabled.
The complete Audio Lab workspace
A real capture of the live beta: art-direct the cue on the left, then preview and download the generated result on the right.
Prompt, timing, adherence, and looping
The close-up maps each control to the generation brief: exact cue language, 0.5–30 second timing, literalness, and seamless ambience loops.
A short seamless music-loop brief
A real Audio Lab configuration for a compact instrumental exploration loop. It demonstrates loop mode and musical art direction without claiming full-song or multitrack composition.
audio asset coverage
One generator for the small audio files a game needs everywhere
Audio Lab is the broad feature: game SFX generation, reusable audio assets, ambience, and short music-loop generation all share the same prompt, timing, adherence, preview, and download workflow.
One-shot SFX
Impacts, pickups, weapons, doors, explosions, and reward cues with a defined start and finish.
UI audio
Clicks, confirms, warnings, hover cues, inventory sounds, and short menu transitions.
Foley and movement
Footsteps, cloth, armor, object handling, surface contact, and character movement details.
Creature and machine sounds
Roars, breaths, servo motion, engines, hydraulics, drones, and mechanical loops.
Environmental ambience
Rain, wind, crowds, forests, rooms, traffic, machinery, and other seamless world beds.
Short musical loops
Compact instrumental textures and stingers for exploration, tension, menus, or transitions—not full arranged songs.
browser workflow
Fast iteration in Audio Lab
Best for one-off cues and art direction: prompt, generate, audition, revise, and download without handling provider credentials. Each requested second costs one bunpav credit.
Generate a soundscript workflow
Batch generation for manifests
Best for a named cue list: run the dependency-free Python helper with your own ElevenLabs key, explicit duration, output path, and optional loop flag.
python3 scripts/generate-game-audio.py \ --prompt "short metal inventory click" \ --duration 0.8 --output inventory-click.mp3Gameplay feedback
Impacts, pickups, doors, weapons, footsteps, UI confirms, warnings, and short reward cues that make interactions readable.
World ambience
Loopable weather, traffic, forest, machinery, dungeon, crowd, and environmental beds without digging through stock libraries.
Game jams and prototypes
Replace placeholder beeps with art-directed audio while the mechanic is still changing and the final sound budget is not locked.
Provider failures do not cost bunpav credits
Credits are reserved before a paid request so generation cannot exceed your balance. If ElevenLabs times out or rejects the request, the full reservation is returned to your ledger automatically.
faq
Game audio generation questions
How much does each game sound effect cost?
Audio Lab charges one bunpav credit per requested second, rounded up. A 2-second impact costs 2 credits and a 10-second ambience costs 10 credits. Credits are reserved before generation and automatically refunded if the provider fails.
What audio format does the generator return?
It returns an MP3 at 44.1 kHz and 128 kbps. You can use that directly in most engines or convert it to WAV, OGG, or another project-specific format in your normal audio pipeline.
Can it create seamless looping ambience?
Yes. Enable the seamless-loop option for continuous sounds such as rain, engines, wind, crowds, magical fields, or room tone. Looping uses ElevenLabs' second-generation text-to-sound model.
Can Audio Lab generate game music loops as well as SFX?
Audio Lab can be prompted for short instrumental textures, stingers, and seamless gameplay loops in addition to sound effects and ambience. It is not a voice-cloning tool or a full multitrack song arranger, so treat it as a source for compact in-game audio assets rather than an entire composed soundtrack.
Can I automate game SFX generation with a script?
Yes. The same request format works from Python for batch pipelines and manifests. bunpav includes a dependency-free Python helper for local generation, while the browser Audio Lab handles authentication, credits, preview, and download for individual cues.
