Although its title is the Japanese word for an incorrect answer, this clip is a generic quiz buzzer rather than a line from a specific show or character. Buzzers like this became a staple of television game shows, where a harsh tone instantly told contestants and viewers that an answer was wrong. Creators later lifted the same idea for short online videos, trivia challenges, reaction edits and meme compilations, because the sound needs no translation. Its short length and immediate meaning keep it useful for quick jokes, failed guesses and quiz formats across platforms.
Über diesen Sound
A sharp quiz buzzer marking a wrong guess, the classic incorrect answer sound effect for game shows, trivia videos and meme edits when a player fails.
The sound is a short, harsh quiz buzzer that signals a wrong answer, lasting under two seconds. It opens with a low, grating electronic tone that feels deliberately unpleasant, almost like a game show penalty, and cuts off abruptly instead of fading out. That sudden, flat rejection is what makes it so instantly recognisable: listeners know immediately that an answer has failed, without needing any words or explanation. In a video it creates a comic pause, turning a mistake into a punchline and letting the audience feel the embarrassment for a beat before the action moves on.
