Morse Code Generator
Type a message and this Morse code generator turns it into Morse code audio. Choose the speed, spacing and tone, play it, then download it as a WAV sound file. The audio is made on your device and nothing is uploaded.
Speed, tone and volume
Speed is in words per minute using the standard word PARIS (one dot lasts 1200 ÷ WPM milliseconds). Farnsworth spacing keeps each letter at full speed and adds longer gaps between letters and words, which is easier for learners. Set it equal to the speed to switch it off.
How to make Morse code audio
- Type your message in the box, or paste Morse code you already have.
- Set the sound. Speed is in words per minute (WPM). Farnsworth spacing adds longer pauses between letters and words while keeping each letter at full speed. Tone sets the pitch of the beep.
- Press Preview to hear it. The strip shows every beep as a bar and follows along as it plays.
- Press Download WAV to save the file. It is named after your message, like
morse-sos.wav.
What people make with this Morse code creator
It is a Morse code maker for anything that needs the sound of a message, not just the dots and dashes:
- Videos and reels: a hidden message as a sound effect, or subtitles that beep.
- Escape rooms and puzzles: a clue players have to decode by ear. Slow it down with Farnsworth spacing to make it fair.
- Ringtones and alarms: your name or initials in Morse code.
- Practice files: words and callsigns to copy on a walk, at a steady speed.
- Gifts: a message to hide in a card, a song or a sound button.
How text becomes Morse code sound
The generator works as a text to Morse code audio converter that follows the standard timing. Each dot lasts one unit and each dash three units. The gap inside a letter is one unit, between letters three units and between words seven units. One unit is 1200 ÷ WPM milliseconds, so at 20 WPM a dot lasts 60 ms. Every beep fades in and out over 5 ms, which removes the click a hard on and off makes. The full rules, including how Farnsworth spacing is worked out, are on how Morse code works.

Frequently asked questions
What format is the Morse code audio file?
A WAV file: 16 bit, mono, 22,050 samples per second, with a quarter of a second of silence at the start and end. WAV plays on every phone and computer and opens in any audio or video editor.
Can I get an MP3 instead?
Not yet. WAV keeps every beep sharp and works everywhere. If you need an MP3, any audio app or free online converter can change the file, and Morse code stays small because it is mostly short tones and silence.
Can I use the audio in my video, game or escape room?
Yes. The sound is generated from your own message on your device, and you are free to use the file however you like, including in commercial projects.
What speed and tone should I choose?
For listeners who do not know Morse code, 12 to 15 words per minute at 600 to 700 Hz sounds clear and recognisable. For practice files, use your target character speed with Farnsworth spacing a little slower. Radio operators usually use a tone between 500 and 800 Hz.
Can I type Morse code instead of text?
Yes. Paste dots and dashes, with a space between letters and a slash between words, and the generator plays exactly that code.
Can I make a ringtone or notification sound?
Yes. Download the WAV, then set it as a ringtone in your phone settings. Android accepts WAV files directly. iPhone ringtones need to be converted to the M4R format first, for example with GarageBand.
