This sound comes from Metalocalypse, the animated television series centered on the fictional death metal band Dethklok. Instead of a plain censor beep, the show became known for using a brief guitar squeal to cover profanity, which matched its metal aesthetic. That choice made the censor itself memorable, and clips of it spread among fans making parody edits, adult cartoon memes, and bleeped reaction videos. It still gets reused because it delivers the joke faster and with more personality than a standard TV censor tone.

The sharp guitar squeal used to censor swearing in Metalocalypse. Creators use it for bleeped jokes, sudden profanity cuts and adult cartoon edits.
This clip is the signature Metalocalypse censor sound: a very short, high-pitched guitar squeal that replaces a swear word instead of a standard beep. It hits fast, sounds aggressive and musical, and instantly gives a scene that over-the-top Adult Swim energy. Because it is so brief and recognizable, it works well as a comedic interruption when someone is about to curse or when an edit needs a hard, funny cut. The sound lands best when the joke is the contrast between normal dialogue and an absurdly intense censor.
