Cough sound effects from a polite throat clear to a proper hacking fit. Gross, occasionally. Men, women, kids and older voices, light coughs and hard ones, some with real chesty conditions behind them. There's quiet room presence too, the odd cough in a courtroom or a church that makes a silent scene feel occupied.

A cough does a lot of storytelling. A dry little cough can be nerves, while a wet, rattling cough says illness. Recordings here are close and clean, so you can place them yourself, and many come from wider mouth noise sets alongside Sneeze and Breathing sounds. For games, character packs include coughs among their efforts and pain reactions. Hospital dramas and horror both use them.
