Suspense & tension sounds
27 sounds
Stings, drones, heartbeats and awkward silence for the moment before something goes wrong, or for a plot twist. Some are serious, some are made for jokes.
How to use these sounds
Let the sound start quietly and leave a short gap of silence before the reveal. Silence is part of the effect. For a joke, a sudden sting right after a serious line works best.
