Riser & build-up sounds

36 sounds

Sounds that climb in pitch or volume to build tension before something happens. Use them before a drop, a reveal, a title or a big cut. The reverse hits and downlifters help with the release afterwards.

How to use these sounds

Line up the end of the riser with the hit that follows it, then cut the riser right at the hit. Short risers (1 to 2 seconds) work for social videos, long ones for trailers and intros.

Every sound has its own page with the download button and the license. Want to add them straight to your timeline? Try the free SoundZapp extension for Premiere Pro and After Effects.
