L.A. Noire is a 2011 detective game from Rockstar Games and Team Bondi, set in 1940s Los Angeles and following detective Cole Phelps as he investigates crimes across the city. The examine jingle is one of its short musical cues, used when the player inspects an object or clue for evidence. As clips from the game circulated online, editors began lifting its brief noir sting for their own mystery, true crime and reaction videos, where it instantly signals that something important has just been noticed.

The short jazz sting that plays in L.A. Noire when Cole Phelps examines a clue, used by creators for detective reveals and investigation moments in edits.
The examine jingle from L.A. Noire is a brief, jazzy musical cue that signals a discovery during an investigation. It opens with a soft piano figure and a rising, noir-style flourish, then resolves quickly, giving the moment a knowing, detective-movie feel without interrupting the scene. In the game it rewards the player for looking closer, and in edits it does the same work for the viewer, marking a small detail as important. The sound feels clever and slightly dramatic, like a spotlight landing on a clue just as its meaning clicks into place.
