Alexa Skills Kit Sound Library
The Alexa Skills Kit Sound Library provides a set of sound effects you can use within your skill.
To use these sounds in your skill, include the SSML <audio> tag in your response. The SSML for each of these sound effects is shown in the SSML column of the table. Enclose your SSML response within the <speak> tag. For example:
<speak>
This is Alexa's regular speech, followed by the sound effect "bear groan roar (1)".
<audio src='https://s3.amazonaws.com/ask-soundlibrary/animals/amzn_sfx_bear_groan_roar_01.mp3'/>
</speak>
Important: You can use these sound files within a text-to-speech response your skill sends to Alexa. You can also test the SSML for these sounds in either the Test Simulator (beta) or the Test page in the developer console. You cannot download the files or access them directly in a browser.
The sounds are organized into the following categories:
- Ambience Sounds
- Animal Sounds
- Battle Sounds
- Cartoon Sounds
- Foley Sounds
- Home Sounds
- Human Sounds
- Impact Sounds
- Magic Sounds
- Musical Sounds
- Nature Sounds
