Samsung Galaxy phones ship with short, recognisable notification tones that users hear daily for texts and app alerts, which made them easy to lift for videos and soundboards. As phone based humour grew on TikTok, YouTube and messaging apps, creators began dropping the chime over unrelated footage to imply a message had just arrived. It became part of the wider Galaxy meme culture online, where a familiar device sound works as instant shorthand without any visual phone on screen.
