Questions pour un champion is a long-running French television quiz show on France 3 in which contestants answer general knowledge questions under time pressure, and the wrong-answer buzzer is one of its most familiar format sounds. French creators began lifting the short clip for online videos, streams and memes, using it as a quick, wordless verdict on a mistake. It remains popular because the sound is instantly recognisable to French viewers and needs no translation to land, making it a handy shorthand for failure in quiz, gaming and reaction content.

The wrong answer buzzer from Questions pour un champion, the French TV quiz show, used in videos and memes to mark a failed guess or a bad take.
The clip is the short, flat buzzer that plays on Questions pour un champion when a contestant gives a wrong answer, a low, slightly harsh tone that drops and stops almost immediately. At just over a second long it feels abrupt and final, like a door closing on a guess before the host can move on. That bluntness is what makes it so usable: it instantly tells a viewer something was incorrect, embarrassing or just badly thought out, without needing any explanation or dialogue.
