AI generative models for sound effect synthesis reviewed

A recent review paper published on arXiv examines the advancements in AI-based generative models for sound effect synthesis. The paper analyzes 30 peer-reviewed articles from the past five years, focusing on how different input modalities like text, visuals, and audio influence the quality and relevance of generated sound effects. While current models demonstrate high fidelity and semantic alignment, challenges remain in temporal synchronization for complex scenarios and bridging the gap between objective metrics and human perception. AI

IMPACT This review highlights progress in AI-driven sound design, suggesting future workflows will become more adaptive and context-aware.
