Free DnD Soundboard for tabletop and Discord.

The DnD sound effects board built for Dungeon Masters. Tap-to-play effects, with DnD music and ambience each on its own channel.

Growlboard, a DnD sound effects board with DnD music, ambience and more

A DnD soundboard turns your table's sound into taps: a grid of buttons for sword clashes, arrows, spells, and dice rolls, each lighting up while it plays. It's a free DnD sound effects app you open right in your browser, so drop in the effects your campaign needs and tap them the moment the scene calls for it.

As a DnD sound effects app it keeps your DnD music and sound effects together: music lives on its own channel, so a dungeon drone or tavern tune loops as DnD background music under your effects instead of cutting them off. It works for D&D 5e and any tabletop RPG you run.

Everything your table needs

The channels, controls, and little touches that keep a session flowing.

Music, ambience & sound effects

Music, ambience, and sound effects each play on their own channel with their own volume. Layer DnD battle music over a fight or slide DnD ambient music under a quiet tavern, and mix them live to build the moment.

Play on Discord

Send Growlboard straight into a Discord voice channel, so your whole table hears the same music and effects together, even when everyone is playing remotely.

Upload your own sounds & customize

Upload your own sounds and images, recolour any button, and arrange the board exactly the way your table likes it.

Saved to your account

Create an account and your soundboard follows you, ready on any device, wherever you play.

Separate channels, controlled separately

Music, ambience, and effects run on separate channels, each with its own play, pause, and volume, so you control every layer of the scene independently.

Sorted by place and mood

Sounds are organized by place and mood, so you find the right one in seconds and keep your focus on the game instead of the screen.

Hide the sound effects

Running a music-and-ambience session? Close the sound effects panel to give your music and ambiences the whole screen.

High-quality, human-made

Every clip is made by people who care about the craft, so you get some of the best DnD music, ambiences, and effects around.

Works on every device

Fully responsive, with a layout built for each screen: wide desktop, iPad in either orientation, and phone. You always reach the right sound fast.

How to make a DnD soundboard

  1. Open Growlboard

    Start from the ready-made soundboard. Swords, arrows, spells, dice, plus dungeon, battle, and tavern DnD music are already there.

  2. Add or upload sounds

    Pull more effects from the built-in library or upload your own (mp3, wav, or m4a) for the monsters and moments unique to your campaign.

  3. Make it yours

    Rename, recolour, set volume, and drag to reorder every button until your soundboard matches your table.

Jim is the Generator. JimGenerate is his workshop: one place where he builds tools that make things for you, all under a single subscription with shared credits.

He would rather make a few tools exceptionally well than a hundred that are just okay. So he picks one, obsesses over it until it feels right, then starts the next. More are on the way.
