Persona 5 was released by Atlus in 2016 and follows Joker and the Phantom Thieves in Tokyo, where much of the story unfolds through phone messages between missions. The notification chime became one of the game's most recognisable everyday sounds because players hear it hundreds of times. Fans ripped the alert for real phones and edits, and it spread on soundboards alongside similar game alerts like the GTA V notification. Its clean design and strong association with incoming messages keep it popular for streams, fan videos and roleplay chats.
Über diesen Sound
The Persona 5 notification sound is the short phone alert chime from the JRPG, used in edits and streams to mimic an in-game text message arriving.
This is the crisp phone notification chime heard in Persona 5 whenever Joker receives a new text message on his phone. It is a very short electronic alert, clean and melodic, with a light digital ping that cuts through background music without sounding harsh. In the game it signals the IM app opening and friends checking in about plans or Phantom Thieves business. Lifted into edits, the sound instantly reads as a message arriving, giving a reveal, a DM screenshot or a sudden plot twist a stylish, anime-inspired snap that viewers recognise before they even see the phone.
