How To Add Audio Effects in 'Roblox' Studio: the Osu Hit Sound ID

The Osu hit sound effect is one of the most popular in Roblox, known for being a particularly satisfying indicator that lets players know when they have done something well.

With its development company having been valued at $45.2 billion back in March 2021, it is fair to say that Roblox is one of the biggest success stories of recent years. Its accessible creation tools allow fledging programmers — many of whom are still children — to learn the ropes of video-game development and to even generate a little income while they do it (although the realities of this are quite complicated).

The platform hosts over 40 million games (or "experiences" as they are branded in Roblox), so there is bound to be something that appeals to you. There are thousands of scrappy horror games, amateur battle royales and superhero simulators to sink your teeth into, although there is also some inappropriate user-generated content that you should be wary of.

You could never possibly get through the entire library, as new experiences are uploaded to Roblox every single day. If you want to get involved in the development side of things then getting the respective studio software is incredibly easy. Just head over to the appropriate page on the Roblox website and you can download it for free.

With the studio, you will have access to a variety of coding and building tools that use the Lua programming language. It will take a little practice, but you will soon learn how to use this script to design new levels, customize lighting and assign audio effects.

The latter is the focus of this guide, as we will show you how to add sounds to your Roblox experience, including the coveted Osu hit noise.

How To Add Sound Effects in 'Roblox'

First up, there are two possible methods of adding a sound effect in Roblox Studio. The first is to rummage through the toolbox, using the following steps:

  1. Click the "View" button at the top of the screen
  2. Then click on "Toolbox"
  3. A toolbox window will then open in the bottom left-hand corner of the studio. Find the drop-down menu here and select "Audio"
  4. You then have the option to browse through a library of sound effects using a search bar

If you are looking for a specific audio effect (such as the Osu hit), then you might find it a little tricky using this method, as you will be inundated with competing results. For instance, if you search for the popular "Bruh" sound, you will find dozens of alternatives based on that single keyword.

To ensure that you get the precise sound file that you are looking for, you are better off using its unique sound ID. This is essentially a code (a bit like a URL) that specifically correlates to a given audio effect.

Of course, for this method to work you must actually know the sound ID in question. If you do, then this is how you use it.

  1. Head into the "Explorer" window on the right-hand side of the screen
  2. Find the object that you want to add a sound effect to and hover the cursor over it
  3. Press the plus button to add a blank sound effect
  4. Scroll through the new sound effects properties until you find the "SoundId" line
  5. Copy and paste the numerical characters from the sound ID into this box
  6. A full sound ID will then be automatically generated when you click out of the box, in a format like this: rbxassetid://7147454322

What Is the Osu Hit Sound ID in 'Roblox'?

As aforementioned, you will need the matching sound ID to add an audio effect using the Roblox Studio Explorer window.

In the case of the popular Osu hit (which is taken from the titular rhythm-action game), the sound ID is 7147454322.

If you paste those characters into a blank sound effect box, then you will apply the Osu hit noise to the object in question.
