Triggers include: any mention of 'sound effect', 'sfx', 'generate sound', 'make a sound', 'audio effect', 'ambient sound', 'foley', 'sound clip', 'noise', or requests to produce a specific sound (e.g. 'make a gunshot sound', 'generate thunder', 'create the sound of rain').

Do NOT use for speech synthesis, music generation with melody/lyrics, or voice cloning.
