About this sound
A short voice clip of someone saying are you shitting me in disbelief, used as a reaction sound effect for shocking, frustrating or unbelievable moments online.
This is a quick, exasperated voice line delivered with rising disbelief, as if the speaker has just heard something too ridiculous to accept. The phrasing lands fast and blunt, with the stress on the final words making the frustration instantly clear even without any context. At under two seconds it cuts straight to the reaction, no setup needed. Viewers read it immediately as annoyed incredulity rather than genuine anger, which makes it funny in context. It works because the tone is familiar, like a friend calling out nonsense the moment it happens.
