Sound effects can be used in all types of audiovisual work to create emphasis, indicate transitions, evoke suspense and more. These short soundtracks can be spliced, edited and looped to fit seamlessly with projects.

Stock sound effects are short audio files that come with a license that gives the buyer permission to use them. They are usually shorter than 10 seconds and typically do not have a melody. Sound effects can be incorporated in any audiovisual project - in fact, they are great for bringing visual content to life and sparks imagination in audio-only media.

Royalty-free describes intellectual property that can be used without having to pay royalties. Once a one-time fee is paid for a royalty-free license, the buyer is free to use it without having to pay recurring fees to the intellectual property owner.

While a royalty-free license gives a person the right to use it, the intellectual property still belongs to the original owner. Anyone who buys a royalty-free license is entitled to use the same content. In other words, royalty-free content is not exclusive.

However, there are many perks of using royalty-free content. A buyer does not need to attribute the owner and each content can be used as many times as desired in as many projects as possible.

Sound Effects For Presentations

Adding sound effects to your presentation will help you to enhances engagement of your audience by capturing their attention, emphasizing key information, setting up certain mood, and signaling transitions.

When used right, sound effects will increase the overall impact of the presentation and aid in audience retention and comprehension.

Hi, I’m Mik, one of TunePocket sound designers. I went though our huge catalog of royalty free sounds and music and picked 10 sound effects that will work great in any kind of presentation (business, educational, promotional, and so on). Read my quick tips on using sound effects in presentations or jump straight to the playlist .

3 tips for using sound effects in presentations

1. Use sound effects thoughtfully and sparingly. They should complement and enhance the content rather than overshadow or distract from it.

2. Make sure the sound effects are appropriate for the context and audience. Don’t use cheesy sounds for important business presentations, unless your goal is make a comic or tongue-in-a-cheek remark.

3. Pay attention to the timing and volume. The effects must be audible without becoming overwhelming.

6 types of sound effects to consider for your presentation

There are several sounds commonly used during presentations and meetings to enhance communication and engagement.

You can also listen to examples in the playlist (scroll down).

1. Fanfare or applause sounds

Wining sound effects are great to announce major achievements, a milestone, or the launch of a significant initiative.

Applause sounds are used to acknowledge a successful point made or to appreciate a speaker’s performance.

2. Alert or notification

A brief notification or alert sound should be used to draw attention to important announcements, updates, or reminders during your presentation.

A gentle chime or bell sound can indicate a transition between different topics or sections of a presentation. It can help grab attention and signal a change in focus.

A fail sound can be useful during a presentation to draw attention to a mistake or error discussed during the presentation, allowing the presenter to turn it into a learning moment or opportunity for audience engagement.

Sometimes a short click sound is used when switching slides or navigating through the presentation. It also serves as an alert, to at a slide has changed.

3. Drumroll

Drumroll sound effect will build anticipation before revealing a significant announcement, unveiling a surprise, or introducing a special guest.

4. Swoosh or whoosh sound

Whoosh sound effect can be employed to highlight dynamic movements or transitions within the presentation. It can accompany animations, visual effects, or slides with elements flying or sliding into place.

A timer sound is often used to indicate the end of a specific time period or to remind participants about breaks or time limits for certain activities.

6. Background music

Technically not a sound effect but background music can be quite useful in certain situations.

For once, you can play background music during breaks, networking sessions, or when participants are entering or leaving the meeting room.

It helps create a pleasant atmosphere and reduce potential awkward silences.

For motivational speeches, team presentations or achievement celebrations, the right music will help to set the uplifting or motivating mood making it easier for you to engage your audience.
