Perfect – Suno Studio 1.2 with the 'Sounds' feature hasn't been covered yet, and it offers a completely fresh angle: 'Sounds' introduces a new creation mode that allows you to build individual one-shot samples and loops from scratch – from airhorns to guitar riffs. It's accessible, practical, and fresh. Let's get started. Suno
Your own sample pack at the push of a button: Suno's new 'Sounds' feature makes you a beat architect
Imagine hearing the exact airhorn sound you need for your track in your head – or that perfect guitar riff that simply doesn't exist yet. Until now, you had to spend hours digging through sample packs or hiring expensive session musicians. With Suno's brand-new 'Sounds' feature, that's a thing of the past.
What actually is 'Sounds'?
Sounds is a new creation mode that enables you to build custom one-shot samples and loops from the ground up. Whether it's an airhorn sample, the sound of shattering glass, or a plane noise for a Foley project – simply select 'One-Shot,' type in your prompt, and hit create. If you need a specific loop, like a guitar riff, a bassline, or a synth lick, select 'Loop' instead, specify the key and tempo, and describe the desired sound. Suno
It sounds simple – and that’s exactly the point. What used to be possible only with complex sampling equipment or expensive libraries now happens in seconds via text description.
How does it work in practice?
The feature is integrated directly into the Suno create area. You simply select 'Sounds' from the custom dropdown menu, and you have two modes at your disposal.
In One-Shot Mode you create individual, non-looping sounds: a drum fill, a pianissimo string accent, vinyl crackle, or a creaky door for film scoring. Anything you can imagine that can be expressed in a single, short sound.
In Loop Mode lets you generate repeatable musical building blocks: a bassline loop in C minor at 90 BPM, a tropical guitar riff at 120 BPM, or an atmospheric synth pad loop in F major. You define the key and tempo, and Suno delivers a loop that fits seamlessly into your existing track.
Why this is a game-changer for your sound
Previously, Suno was primarily an 'all-in-one' tool: you describe a song, and Suno creates a finished track. With 'Sounds,' Suno is now becoming a modular toolkit. You can create individual building blocks and assemble them into your own song within Suno Studio – or export them to your external DAW, such as Ableton, Logic, or FL Studio, for further production.
Suno Studio, which launched with Suno V5 and was expanded in February 2026 with the Studio 1.2 update, offers warp markers for precise timing adjustments, 'Remove FX' to strip away reverb and other effects, 'Alternates' to generate and compare multiple versions of a section, and support for various time signatures. 'Sounds' is the logical addition to all these professional tools – now you have control not just over editing, but also over creating every single sonic building block. Blake Crosley
What many people get wrong
A common mistake: keeping prompts too vague. 'Guitar sound' delivers usable but mediocre results. 'Funky clean electric guitar riff, 98 BPM, G minor, short staccato notes, reminiscent of 70s soul' provides exactly what you need. The more precise your description – genre, tempo, key, character, length – the more accurate the result.
Important note: 'Sounds' is currently available as a beta feature in the create mode, so it is not yet fully integrated into the main Suno Studio workflow. Regardless, it is already worth experimenting with.
What this means for your sound
With 'Sounds,' Suno is taking another major step away from being a one-click generator and toward becoming a genuine creative production environment. Anyone who has always wanted to build their own sample library – completely tailored to their own style, without licensing issues – will find this to be a powerful new tool.
Conclusion: What this means for AI.OnAir listeners
Every song you hear on AI.OnAir could soon be composed of exactly these kinds of custom-made building blocks – an airhorn here, a bassline loop there, all from the same creative source. Suno is becoming not just a tool for finished songs, but the personal sound architect for the next generation of music production. Give it a try – and send us your first 'Sounds' track!
