AI Sound Effects

Create custom sound effects for any project using each::sense — the intelligent AI agent that automatically selects the best model for your request.

Quick Start

Requires an each::labs API key. Get one at eachlabs.ai.

Using curl

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Generate a sound effect: heavy rain on a tin roof with distant thunder rumbling, 10 seconds long, realistic and immersive"
      }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Using Python (OpenAI SDK)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_EACHLABS_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="eachsense/beta",
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Generate a sound effect: heavy rain on a tin roof with distant thunder rumbling, 10 seconds long, realistic and immersive"
    }]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Streaming

Set "stream": true for real-time SSE responses, or "stream": false for complete result in a single response. Streaming is useful for showing progress in UIs; non-streaming is simpler for scripts and automation.

Prompt Engineering Tips

Be Descriptive About the Sound

Describe the physical properties of the sound: what is making it, the environment, material, intensity, and duration.

Generate a sound effect: [source] [action] in [environment], [intensity], [duration] long

Useful Descriptors

metallic, wooden, glass, wet, dry, hollow, sharp, muffled,
echoing, close-up, distant, rapid, slow, layered, single

Duration Guidelines

• UI sounds: 0.5-2 seconds
• Impacts: 1-3 seconds
• Ambience: 10-30 seconds
• Transitions: 1-5 seconds

Examples

Sci-fi Laser Blast

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Generate a sound effect: futuristic laser blaster firing three quick shots, high-pitched zap with a low reverb tail, sci-fi energy weapon style, 2 seconds total"
      }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Generate a sound effect: peaceful forest ambience with birds singing, gentle breeze through leaves, a distant stream flowing over rocks, no human sounds. 15 seconds, loopable."
      }
    ],

      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Generate a sound effect: a friendly, short notification chime for a mobile app. Two ascending tones, bright and pleasant, like a marimba tap. Under 1 second, clean and modern."

    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Generate a sound effect: cinematic whoosh transition, starts from the left, sweeps to the right, deep bass undertone with a high-frequency air trail. 1.5 seconds, dramatic and punchy."

    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Workflow: Building a Sound Design Library

# Step 1: Generate a base ambient loop
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Generate a sound effect: busy city street ambience, car traffic, distant sirens, pedestrian chatter, urban daytime. 15 seconds, loopable."
      }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

# Step 2: Generate accent sounds to layer on top
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Generate a sound effect: car horn honking twice in a busy street, realistic, 2 seconds"
      }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

# Step 3: Generate a transition sound
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Generate a sound effect: scene change swoosh, a quick low-frequency rumble with a high-pitched tail, cinematic. 1 second."
      }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'
