Durchsage is the German word for a spoken public announcement, usually heard through loudspeakers in stations, airports, schools and other public places. Online, clips named durchsage2 are shared as generic tannoy sounds rather than tied to a known film, show or creator. Creators borrow the formal, echoing style to make everyday messages sound like official broadcasts, which is why the sound keeps appearing in meme edits, gaming videos and short clips where a mock announcement, alert or important notice is the joke itself.
