AI Video Generator With Sound & Music

nocensor.ai Is Now an AI Video Generator With Sound

For most of the history of AI video generation, the output was silent. You'd render a few seconds of motion — a figure moving through a scene, an environment coming to life, a character performing an action — and then open a video editor to add music or sound effects manually. That extra step added friction, and for most creators it meant the fully-finished product required software beyond the AI platform itself.

nocensor.ai's AI video generator with sound removes that step. Released in May 2026, the feature adds three audio modes to every video workflow: Ambient, Music, and Voice. Users can select an audio mode before generating a new video, or apply it retroactively to any existing silent video output in their gallery.

The result is a complete AI video with sound — video and audio delivered together as a single MP4, ready to download or share.

Three Sound Modes: Ambient, Music, and Voice Explained

nocensor.ai's audio feature offers three modes, each targeting a different kind of sound.

Ambient generates environmental sound effects tied to the visual content. This covers atmospheric audio: wind moving through trees, ocean waves, city street noise, rain on a surface, the ambient hum of an interior space. The generated sound fills the sonic space the way a natural environment would, without attempting to narrate or score the scene. A video of a forest path gets rustling leaves and birdsong. A neon-lit urban scene gets traffic noise and distant voices.

Music produces AI-composed instrumental background music calibrated to the emotional register of the video. A slow, tension-filled sequence might receive sparse, low-key chords. A high-energy scene might get a driving rhythm or percussive backing. Because the music is generated specifically for each output, it doesn't carry sync licensing restrictions — there are no copyright flags on social platforms and no two videos receive the same track.

Voice adds synthesized spoken audio: narration, character dialogue, whispered atmosphere, or expository voice-over. The Voice mode uses a different underlying synthesis path than Ambient and Music, which is reflected in its lower credit cost. It's suited to any video where spoken language would reinforce the visual content — character-driven scenes, narrative sequences, or short-form content designed for social audio environments.

A fourth option — Auto-synced (V2A) — appears in the interface marked as coming soon. This mode will use a Video-to-Audio model to analyze motion in the video and generate synchronized sound effects without requiring a text prompt. The underlying model (MMAudio) is available only under a non-commercial license, so it's excluded from the current release. It will be added once a commercially-licensed equivalent is available.

How nocensor.ai Generates Audio: No Extra GPU Required

Audio generation on nocensor.ai runs as a dedicated server-side post-processing step, completely separate from the ComfyUI video pipeline.

When a user submits a video job with sound, the video frames are generated first — this is the GPU-intensive stage, handled by the RunPod serverless video endpoint. Once the video output exists as a file, audio generation runs as a second pass: the completed video is passed to an audio processing service that synthesizes the sound and mixes it into the final output. The audio service routes to ElevenLabs' synthesis APIs for Ambient and Music modes.

This architecture means audio generation adds no GPU time to the video job. The audio post-processing step completes within seconds of the video being written, and the two outputs (silent video + audio track) are merged server-side before the result reaches the user's gallery. The user sees a single completed video with embedded audio, not two separate files.

The decoupled architecture also enables the retrofit feature: because audio generation is independent of the video generation step, it can be applied to any video that already exists — including videos generated before the audio feature launched. No re-rendering is required.

Adding Sound During Generation vs. Retrofitting Existing Videos

The audio feature is available through two distinct paths, and the choice between them depends on whether the video already exists.

During generation, the video submission form includes a Sound radio group with four options: None, Ambient, Music, and Voice. Selecting any mode other than None adds the audio cost to the displayed total before submission. The generated video arrives in the gallery with audio already embedded. This is the simplest path — one submission, one output with audio.

Retroactive application is available on any silent video already in the gallery. Every silent video output shows an "Add sound" button in the post-result panel. Clicking it opens a compact modal with the same three active sound modes. Users select a mode, optionally add a custom audio prompt, and confirm. The audio job runs in the background and delivers an updated video to the gallery.

The retrofit path serves two specific purposes. First, it gives existing users access to audio on outputs that were generated before the feature existed — there's no penalty for having generated content early. Second, it enables a review-then-decide workflow: generate the video silently, evaluate the visual output, and only commit audio credits to outputs that look right. For users who often iterate on video output before finalizing, this separation preserves credit efficiency.

There is no fidelity difference between audio applied during generation and audio applied retroactively — both paths use the same audio models.

How to Use Custom Audio Prompts to Direct the Sound

Both Ambient and Music modes accept an optional custom audio prompt — a text field that provides explicit direction to the audio model. Without a custom prompt, nocensor.ai uses the video content itself to infer what kind of sound fits the scene. This produces reasonable results for common subjects but may not match the user's intended mood when the visual and audio intent diverge.

With a custom prompt, users control the output directly. The prompt works like any generative text prompt — plain language descriptions guide the model toward a specific sound:

• "lo-fi hip hop, slow tempo, warm, late-night study session" — directs Music mode toward a specific genre and energy level
• "ocean waves, distant seagulls, light wind, mid-afternoon" — forces specific natural Ambient sounds even if the video shows an interior
• "orchestral tension, rising strings, cinematic thriller pacing" — steers Music mode toward dramatic scoring
• "tropical rainforest, insects, soft rain, humid atmosphere" — defines an acoustic environment that differs from what the visuals show
• "city at night, distant sirens, light rain on pavement" — combines multiple layered Ambient elements into one description

There's no special syntax. Write the audio prompt the way you'd describe the desired sound to a composer or sound designer — specific genre labels, tempo words, emotional adjectives, and concrete acoustic elements all feed into the generation. Longer, more specific prompts generally produce more targeted results than brief ones.

Voice mode does not currently support a custom text prompt in the same way — voice synthesis in V1 is controlled at the character and companion level, not via a free-text field in the video form.

What Each Sound Mode Costs in Credits

Audio generation is billed as a flat credit add-on to the base video generation cost:

Ambient and Music carry the same cost because both use ElevenLabs audio synthesis APIs with similar per-second pricing. Voice costs slightly less because its synthesis path is lighter — the current pricing reflects actual infrastructure overhead rather than a deliberate tier strategy.

The credit cost for the selected mode is shown in the video submission form before the job is submitted, as part of the total displayed cost. There are no separate charges or post-submission billing — the full cost for video plus audio is settled from the user's credit balance at the time of submission.

For the retrofit path, the same per-mode cost applies. Clicking "Add sound" on an existing video charges the audio-only amount — not the original video generation cost. Users are not re-charged for the video they already generated.

Which Video Types Benefit Most From AI-Generated Sound

The three audio modes aren't equally useful for every type of video output. Understanding which mode fits which subject produces better results than applying modes uniformly.

Character and companion videos are the strongest fit for Voice mode. A video featuring a specific character — particularly one associated with a custom LoRA — gains a narrative dimension when the character appears to speak or narrate. nocensor.ai's companion system allows users to pair a character LoRA with a custom AI voice; Voice mode in the video generator extends that identity into the video output itself.

Cinematic scene videos — wide environmental shots, fantasy or sci-fi settings, stylized sequences — benefit most from Music mode. These videos are typically longer than character close-ups and benefit from a composed score that gives the piece a structural arc. A landscape video with an ambient track works; the same video with scored orchestral music feels like an edited short film rather than a looping clip.

Short loops and animated sequences are the natural home for Ambient mode. Looping videos need audio without a clear start or end, and environmental sound effects — rain, fire, wind, water — loop convincingly without audible cuts. Users generating character animations or scene loops will find Ambient mode produces the most seamless listening experience on repeat play.

Narrative sequences assembled from multiple individual outputs can use different modes per clip. Ambient for establishing shots, Music for emotional or action beats, Voice for dialogue-adjacent moments. Since nocensor.ai processes each video output as an independent job, mixing modes across a sequence is as simple as applying different audio choices to each video before exporting.

AI Video With Sound, Available Now

The audio feature is active on all current video workflows — text-to-video, image-to-video, and the experimental video model — and available retroactively on any silent video output in the gallery.

To generate an AI video with sound, open nocensor.ai's video generator, select a workflow, choose an audio mode in the Sound section of the form, and submit. The output will include the audio track embedded in the MP4. For existing silent videos, the "Add sound" button is visible in the post-result panel below any eligible output.
