Think Sound
Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!ThinkSound turns uploaded videos into realistic, text-guided audio. Upload a video and add a text prompt to generate lifelike sound. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
Features
ThinkSound is a cutting-edge video-to-audio generation model that creates realistic sound effects and audio tracks from video content. By analyzing the visual elements and actions in your video, it generates high-quality audio that perfectly matches what’s happening on screen.
Why It Stands Out
- Video-to-audio generation: Converts video content into corresponding audio tracks automatically.
- Context-aware sound: Analyzes visual elements and actions to generate matching audio.
- Prompt-guided output: Add text descriptions to guide the style and type of audio generated.
- Prompt Enhancer: Built-in AI-powered prompt optimization for better audio results.
- High-quality output: Produces clear, realistic audio that enhances the multimedia experience.
- Reproducibility: Use the seed parameter to recreate exact results or explore variations.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| video | Yes | Source video (upload or public URL). |
| prompt | No | Text description to guide audio generation style. |
| seed | No | Set for reproducibility; -1 for random. |
How to Use
- Upload your video — drag and drop a file or paste a public URL.
- Add a prompt (optional) — describe the type of sound you want. Use the Prompt Enhancer for AI-assisted optimization.
- Set a seed (optional) for reproducible results.
- Click Run and wait for audio generation.
- Preview and download the result.
Best Use Cases
- Video Post-Production — Add sound effects to silent footage or animations.
- Content Creation — Generate audio tracks for social media videos and clips.
- Game Development — Create sound effects for gameplay footage and trailers.
- Film & Animation — Produce foley and ambient sounds for scenes.
- Advertising — Add impactful audio to promotional videos.

| Per video | $0.05 |
Pro Tips for Best Quality
- Use videos with clear visuals and distinct actions for best audio matching.
- Add prompts to specify the type of sound you want (e.g., “engine roaring”, “footsteps on gravel”).
- Ensure the video has visible sound-producing elements like movement, impacts, or environmental features.
- For complex scenes, describe the primary sound you want the model to focus on.
- Fix the seed when iterating to compare different prompt variations.
Notes
- Ensure uploaded video URLs are publicly accessible.
- Processing time varies based on video length and current queue load.
- Please ensure your content complies with usage guidelines.
