Short answer: yes, during tool/RAG execution; not generally for arbitrary silence.

  • ElevenAgents supports “Tool Call Sounds” that play ambient audio while a tool is running (e.g., a knowledge base/RAG search). You can choose Typing or Elevator Music 1–4, and set when they play: “With pre-speech (auto)” or “Always play.” Configure per tool or at the integration level. Programmatically, set tool_call_sound (e.g., "typing") and tool_call_sound_behavior ("auto" or "always") in the agent’s tool config. (elevenlabs.io)
  • The docs’ example explicitly covers a “Search Agent” that searches a knowledge base/database, using a typing sound during the search. (elevenlabs.io)
  • Scope: these sounds are tied to tool execution. The documentation does not describe a way to play filler audio during arbitrary silence when no tool is running. If you need audio immediately when a search starts, use “Always play”; it will still stop on user interruption. (elevenlabs.io)
  • Note: RAG adds only ~500 ms latency on average, so for very fast retrievals the sound may be brief or barely noticeable. (elevenlabs.io)
