Family Feud first aired in the United States in 1976, created by Mark Goodson, and its survey based format made the incorrect buzzer and the correct ding sound effect central parts of the show. Generations of viewers learned to associate the blast with an error sound and a red X, long before short clips circulated online. As game show moments were reposted on video platforms and soundboards, the buzzer became a reusable reaction for mistakes far beyond the studio, keeping its meaning clear without any explanation needed.
Über diesen Sound
The sharp incorrect answer buzzer from the TV game show Family Feud, used to mark wrong answers, fails and quiz mistakes in videos and memes online.
This is the harsh electronic buzzer that plays on Family Feud when a contestant gives an answer that is not on the board. The short, flat blast cuts through instantly, paired in the show with a large red X on screen. At just under a second it delivers a clear, unmistakable no without any dialogue. Viewers instantly read it as a wrong answer, a failed guess or a bad decision, which is why the sound feels funny even outside a game show context when someone gets something completely wrong.
