The sound comes from a June 2024 street interview in Nashville by Tim and Dee TV, where Haliey Welch was asked what makes a man go crazy in bed. Her answer, built around an onomatopoeic spitting sound, was clipped and shared across TikTok, Instagram and X. It became a meme within days, spawning remixes, merchandise and endless reposts. Welch quickly became known as the Hawk Tuah Girl, and the phrase stayed in online slang long after the original interview faded from feeds.

The Hawk Tuah sound is the viral street interview clip of Haliey Welch saying spit on that thang, now used in memes and Discord soundboards.
This is the short voice clip of a young woman delivering the line with a thick Southern accent, stretching out the hawk tuah sound before the punchline spit on that thang. The delivery is fast, cheeky and completely unscripted, with the laugh in her voice making it sound even more exaggerated. That contrast between a casual interview answer and such a crude, confident phrase is what makes listeners replay it. It lands instantly as a joke, even out of context, and cuts through conversation like a reaction gif in audio form.
