About this sound

The short low-battery chime from Android 2.x to 4.x phones. Creators use it to signal dying devices, low energy moments, or comedic power-down gags.

This is the brief low-battery warning tone played by generic phones running Android 2.x through 4.x. It lasts less than half a second: a soft, slightly hollow two-note electronic beep that drops in pitch, the kind of polite system alert old smartphones made when the charge fell to a critical level. Hearing it now triggers instant recognition for anyone who owned an early Android device, a small jolt of anxiety mixed with nostalgia. In videos it reads as a shorthand for something running out of power, patience, or luck.

Pro tip

Drop it the exact frame a phone screen, game HUD, or character visibly gives up, then duck the background music for half a second so the beep lands clean. Avoid looping it; one quiet hit sells the joke, while repeats feel like a real error.

How people use it

A vlogger's phone dies mid-recording on camera.
A gamer jokes their controller is losing power.
A meme shows someone running out of social energy.
A skit character dramatically powers down mid-sentence.

More information

Early Android versions, from 2.x through 4.x, shipped with a small set of default system sounds, including this low-battery warning heard on countless generic phones. Because those devices were so widespread in the early 2010s, the tone became familiar far beyond any single handset model. It later surfaced on user-made soundboards as a nostalgic interface sound, where it is now reused as a comedic cue for anything draining or shutting down. Its short length makes it easy to drop into memes, edits, and notification parodies.
