Pou is a virtual pet game for mobile phones in which players feed, clean and play with a small alien creature, and its quirky vocal sounds became part of the game's charm. Fans began lifting short clips, including this notification-style squeak, for ringtones, alerts and soundboard pages, especially in Spanish-speaking communities where it is shared as a Pou notificación. Its appeal has lasted because the sound is instantly recognisable, easy to drop into a joke and short enough to reuse without wearing out its welcome.

The squeaky mmaahh notification sound from Pou, the virtual pet game, used as a cute alert and reaction sting in short videos, memes and edits.
This short clip captures Pou's distinctive high-pitched, squeaky vocalisation, a stretched 'mmaahh' that rises quickly and then drops off, much like a tiny alien pet calling for attention. It has a playful, slightly surprised tone, with a cartoonish warble that makes it instantly recognisable even without any visuals. Because it is so brief and expressive, it lands as a light-hearted interruption rather than a dramatic sting, turning an ordinary moment into something cute, silly or unexpectedly funny. Listeners tend to smile at the sound before they even process why it is there, which is exactly why it works so well as a notification-style gag.
