Red alert is the highest shipboard alert condition in Star Trek, the franchise created by Gene Roddenberry that began as a television series in 1966. The klaxon became the audible signal for that order across later series and films from Paramount, heard whenever a Federation starship prepared for combat or faced a critical threat. Fans learned to recognise the sound without any visual cue, and it spread into parodies, games and online videos as a universal sci-fi shorthand for an emergency that demands immediate action from everyone nearby.

The Star Trek red alert klaxon sound effect, the piercing ship alarm for battle stations, used in videos for emergencies, warnings and danger moments.
This is the classic red alert klaxon from Star Trek, a loud repeating alarm that signals the crew to battle stations. Two urgent tones cycle back and forth over a harsh electronic wail, instantly creating a sense of a starship in danger. There is no dialogue, just the insistent pulsing sound that fills the bridge during attacks, system failures and other emergencies. Hearing it immediately raises tension and tells the audience something has gone seriously wrong, which is why it works so well dropped into ordinary situations for comic exaggeration.
