Family Feud is a long-running American television game show in which two families compete by guessing the most popular answers to survey questions, and the buzzer heard here is the show's signal for an answer that misses the board. Clips of that moment were shared widely in reaction videos, compilations and short-form edits, where the sound became shorthand for any incorrect guess. Like other fail sound and error sound cues, it still works because viewers recognise it instantly, even without seeing the show, and it delivers the joke in under three seconds.
Sobre este sonido
The harsh buzzer from Family Feud that plays when a contestant gives a wrong answer, used in videos and memes to flag a failed guess or bad take.
This is the loud, flat buzzer that sounds on Family Feud when a contestant's answer is not on the board, a short electronic blare that cuts through the studio applause and instantly signals failure. It is sharp, slightly grating and unmistakably game-show-like, with a descending, buzzing tone that leaves no room for doubt about the result. Hearing it makes a moment feel awkward, comic and final at the same time, which is why editors use it to punctuate a wrong guess, a bad prediction or a confidently incorrect statement before moving quickly on to the next joke.
