Sound Effects v2
Sound Effects v2 generates audio from a description and remains a deprecated API choice. It supports a specified duration or lets the model infer the duration from the prompt.
Deprecated API; check access details
Loops and migration
A loop repeats a generated segment; it does not extend the model’s single-generation duration. The developer migration guide still identifies v2 as the looping option, although newer overview text differs.ElevenLabs: SFX v3 developer guide
Practical guidance. Check the join between the end and beginning of a loop when moving an ambient track to v3. A good single playback does not establish seamless repeat playback.ElevenLabs Sound Effects capabilities and retirement notice
