What Is a Twitch Hype Train?
A Twitch Hype Train is a special event that kicks off when your viewers shower you with support—think subscriptions, gifted subs, or bits—in a short burst. Introduced in 2020, it’s exclusive to Twitch Affiliates and Partners. Once triggered, a Hype Train starts a five-minute countdown where your community works together to fill a “Hype-o-Meter,” leveling up for rewards like exclusive emotes.
- How It Starts: A spike in support events (e.g., 3-25 unique actions, set by you) within five minutes.
- Levels Up: More subs and bits push it to higher levels, resetting the timer each time.
- Cooldown: After it ends, there’s a break (1-8 hours, your choice) before the next one.
It’s a celebration of your community’s love—and a chance to earn more. Adding Blerp sounds takes it to the next level with interactive audio flair.
Why Use Blerp Sounds with Your Hype Train?
Hype Trains are already fun, but Blerp’s sound library makes them explosive. Here’s why Blerp is the perfect companion:
- 1M+ DMCA-Safe Sounds: Memes, game effects, and more—all safe for streaming.
- Interactive Triggers: Tie sounds to bits, channel points, or subs during the Hype Train.
- Custom Audio: Upload your own or clip Twitch moments for unique hype.

Twitch Hype Train Setup: Step-by-Step Guide
Before adding Blerp, let’s get your Hype Train running. Here’s how to set it up on Twitch:
Step 1: Access Your Dashboard
- Log into Twitch and go to your Creator Dashboard.
- Navigate to “Affiliate/Partner Settings” > “Hype Train.”
Step 2: Enable Hype Train
- Toggle “Enable Hype Train” to ON (it’s on by default for eligible streamers).
- Save your changes.
Step 3: Set Your Kickoff Threshold
- Under “Kickoff Threshold,” slide between 3 and 25 support events (e.g., subs, 100+ bit cheers).
- Each event must come from a unique viewer—solo spam won’t work.
- Pick a number based on your audience size (e.g., 5 for small streams, 15 for bigger ones).
Step 4: Adjust Difficulty & Cooldown
- Choose a difficulty (Easy, Medium, Hard, Super Hard, Insane) for Hype-o-Meter goals.
- Set a cooldown (1-8 hours) to space out Hype Trains and keep them special.
Step 5: Customize Rewards
- Twitch offers default emotes, but you can upload custom ones in the “Customization” tab.
- Higher levels unlock better rewards—motivate your crew!
Once it’s live, chat sees a Hype Train bar with a timer and level tracker. Now, let’s add Blerp’s sound magic.
