Suspense Sound Effects
Suspense audio builds tension before something happens: slow risers, pulsing tension beds and stings that land on the reveal. Horror trailers, mystery edits and game scenes all rely on it.
These are the suspense and tension sounds on the site. For the reveal itself, pair them with a dramatic sting.

Frequently asked questions
How do I use a suspense sound in a video?
Start the riser a few seconds before the reveal and cut it exactly on the moment, then follow with a dramatic sting or silence.
