Sound Effects v3

Sound Effects v3 improves prompts containing several sound events. The release also targets vocal and musical material and reduces harsh artifacts in high-frequency effects.

Ordered sound scenes

The developer guide advises placing events in the order they should occur. Prompt influence controls how closely generation follows the description. A higher setting can reduce unwanted variation.ElevenLabs: SFX v3 developer guide

Official sources disagree about looping: the capability guide describes loop support, while the 2 November developer article says looping remains limited to v2. Do not assume v3 loop support from the overview alone.ElevenLabs Sound Effects capabilities and retirement noticeElevenLabs: SFX v3 developer guide

Practical guidance. For a complex scene, compare both event order and the quality of each sound. The presence of every requested event does not establish that their timing is useful.ElevenLabs: Sound Effects v3 release
