How to Make a Sound on TikTok

If you’re creating a TikTok video to share with your followers and have a specific sound that you think will add context and personality to your content, then this is the article for you.

Sounds on TikTok span everything from voiceovers to noises which are designed to accompany the footage you’re sharing. And while many TikTok creators lean on the audio clips and songs available through the app, adding your own sounds is a great way to ensure your content is unique and memorable.

Here’s how to make and add a sound…

5 Steps to Make a Sound For TikTok

1. Once you’ve created your video on TikTok, click on the ‘Edit’ icon to enter the full edit screen
2. Along the bottom of the screen you will see a carousel of options. Select ‘Sound’
3. Click on ‘Voiceover’
4. A big red button will appear in the centre of your screen. Using this, you can record a voiceover which matches the pace and movement of your video – with creators using this to add context or overlay their video with some form of commentary
5. Once you’re happy with your voiceover, select ‘Done’ and you will see a purple box appear under your video footage reel, which highlights exactly where in the video your voiceover starts and then finishes

The beauty of adding your own voiceover is that it enables you to personalise your video – or add your own spin to an existing video trend with incredible ease. And don’t forget to consider adding captions if you want to make your videos really accessible!

We hope this helps! TikTok is great for creating and sharing short form videos, with audio simply elevating your video to the next level for followers to enjoy!
