This house sounds soundboard has the everyday noises of a home: doors and keys, footsteps, a kitchen full of pots, pans, ice cubes and a microwave, a ticking clock, a zipper and a toilet flush. Every household sound effect plays in your browser, on a phone or a computer, with nothing to install.

House Sounds, One Tap Each

Every button on this board is a sound you'd hear at home: press it and it plays straight away. The household sound effects are grouped by room and by habit, from the kitchen and drinks to doors and keys, footsteps, the bathroom and the little noises in between. Tap a button again to stop it, or press Random house sound and let the board choose.

Kitchen Sound Effects

The kitchen is the busiest room on the board: pots and pans, pouring water, ice cubes, a microwave, a can opening and a champagne pop. Add the sounds of drinking, a gulp, a slurp, clinking glasses and someone eating, and you have a table full of noise for a video, a voiceover or a prank from the next room.

Doors, Keys and Footsteps

A door opening, a door slam and a set of keys jingling are three of the best sounds for a bit of suspense. Add footsteps, including someone running, and a quiet room suddenly has company. Play them from another room and watch who goes to check.

Around the House and the Bathroom

Small sounds make a scene feel real: a clock ticking, a light switch, a lighter, a match strike, a rattle and a zipper. And a toilet flush, which is exactly as funny from the other side of a wall as you'd expect.

Pranks and Videos With Everyday Sounds

Household noises are the easiest prank there is, because nobody questions a sound they hear every day. Play footsteps in an empty hallway or a door slam at midnight. For animal noises from the same house, try the animal soundboard, and for the loud stuff there is the fart soundboard and the full soundboard.
