StarCraft is Blizzard Entertainment's 1998 real-time strategy game, and its interface sounds became part of the language of PC gaming. Every order given to Terran, Zerg and Protoss units is answered by short clicks and beeps, including this quiet confirmation tone. Because matches were streamed, recorded and parodied for decades, those UI noises travelled far beyond the game into forums, videos and soundboards. Players still recognise the hit immediately, and creators borrow that recognition to make any on-screen selection feel official, tactical and complete.

The short confirmation click from StarCraft, played when you select a unit or confirm an order, now used in videos and streams for instant RTS feedback
This is the brief low volume confirmation blip from StarCraft, the tiny electronic click heard when a player issues a command or selects a unit. At less than half a second it is sharp, clean and instantly recognisable to RTS fans, with no voice line or music attached. The quieter level makes it sit neatly under dialogue or gameplay without popping too hard. Played on its own it signals acknowledgement, focus and a decision being locked in, which is why it works so well as a subtle reaction or interface joke in edits.
