How to generate 8-bit sound effects

Make retro game sound effects — jumps, blips, explosions — from classic waveforms, right in your browser.

Steps

1. Choose a waveform:
   • Square — the classic chiptune tone.
   • Sine — smooth and pure.
   • Sawtooth / Triangle — buzzy or mellow.
   • Noise — for explosions and hits (frequency is ignored).
2. Tune the sound: set the frequency (pitch), duration, and toggle a decay envelope for a plucky, fading tail.
3. Play to preview, then Download WAV to export a 16-bit PCM WAV file you can use in a game engine.
