ElevenLabs: Create and loop background rain sounds

Demo summary
The user demonstrates the 'looping' toggle in ElevenLabs to create a seamless rain sound, then compares MP3 vs WAV formats in a video editor to show which loops better.
Step-by-step
- Enter a descriptive prompt for the rain sound in ElevenLabs
- Toggle the Looping option to On
- Set Duration to Auto and click Generate
- Select and download the preferred sound effect variation
- Import the audio file into your video editor
- Duplicate the clip and place it end-to-end to test the loop
- Adjust the volume levels to balance the background sound with other tracks
Options
- Download as MP3
- Download as WAV
Watch out for
- MP3 files may contain a small gap of silence at the end of the clip that breaks the loop
- WAV files are required for a truly seamless, gapless loop in video editors
Tips
- Be specific in your prompt (e.g., 'muffled sound through a closed window') to avoid generic or overly intense weather sounds
- Download as a WAV file for looped sound effects to ensure there is no silence at the beginning or end of the waveform
Highlights
“That sounds pretty smooth compared to our MP3 file.”
