AI Video Models with Audio & Sound: 6 Models Compared
Which AI video models generate native sound? Compare dialogue, sound effects, and music generation across 6 models.
Most AI video generators produce silent clips, requiring you to add sound effects, music, and dialogue in post-production. But a growing number of models now generate native audio alongside the video — synchronized sound effects, ambient audio, and even spoken dialogue. This comparison covers the 6 AI video models that support audio generation.
Veo 3.1 from Google and Grok Imagine Video from xAI lead the pack with the most natural audio generation, including realistic dialogue and environmental sounds. Kling v3 Pro and Kling O3 Standard produce solid sound effects and ambient audio. Kling v3 Standard and LTX 2 Pro offer basic audio capabilities at lower price points. The quality gap between premium and budget audio is significant.
On Melies, audio generation is available as an option when using supported models. Generate a video with and without audio to compare, and only pay the audio credit premium when you need sound.
