Skype launched in 2003 as a voice and video calling app and became one of the most recognisable communication tools of the 2000s, with its distinctive notification sounds built into everyday calls and chats. The logout chime played whenever a user signed out, and as Skype faded in favour of newer apps, the sound survived on soundboards and in memes as a nostalgic shorthand for leaving. After Microsoft retired Skype in 2025, clips like this became even more associated with the end of an internet era.

The classic Skype logout sound is a short descending chime that played when users signed out of the app. Creators use it to signal an awkward exit.
This is the short notification chime Skype played when a user logged out, a clean two-note descending tone that feels instantly familiar to anyone who used the app in the 2000s and 2010s. It is soft, digital and slightly melancholic, rising just enough to catch attention before dropping away, like a polite goodbye from a computer. On its own it lasts barely two seconds, but that brevity is part of its charm, because listeners recognise it immediately without needing any context. In videos it creates a sense of finality, a conversation ending, or someone quietly disappearing from a chat, often with a comic or nostalgic punch.
