# Sound Effects

The Sound Effects Node generates audio effects from a text prompt. Describe any sound—footsteps on gravel, thunder rolling, a car engine starting, a sci-fi laser blast—and the AI creates a matching audio clip. Connect a prompt or type directly into the node to produce sound effects for videos, animations, games, or any creative project.

## How to Use

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the Node">
    Click the Add (+) button and select Sound Effects from the Audio node category.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe the Sound">
    Connect a Prompt node to the Prompt input handle, or type a description directly (e.g., "Heavy rain on a tin roof with distant thunder").
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run">
    Click Run, and the AI generates an audio clip matching your description.
  </Step>
</Steps>
