About this sound
An AI-generated sound effect: “rooster crowing at dawn”. Quality-checked before listing, free for commercial and personal projects — videos, games, podcasts, apps and client work. No royalties — just credit BudgetPixel AI.
Direct file: MP3 · 44.1 kHz — both WAV and MP3 are on the download button.
Editor's note (9.6/10): This is a nearly perfect, clean single rooster crow matching the brief, with only faint negligible ambient wind at the very end of the clip that does not interfere with foley use.

- "Dawn Rooster Crow" runs 2.9 seconds and downloads as MP3 at 44.1 kHz, with WAV on the same download button. Both formats carry the identical licence, so pick whichever your editor prefers — WAV for layering and pitch work, MP3 when file size matters.
- Can I use "Dawn Rooster Crow" in a monetised YouTube video?
