About this sound

The Boeing 717 pull up altitude alarm is a sharp cockpit warning voice from the aircraft, used in aviation edits, meme videos and flight sim clips.

This is the urgent pull up warning from a Boeing 717 cockpit, a loud automated voice repeating the altitude alarm over a harsh warning tone. It lasts under two seconds but feels intense because the delivery is flat, commanding and impossible to ignore. The sound cuts through any background noise, instantly signalling that an aircraft is too low and needs to climb immediately. In videos it creates sudden panic and tension, turning an ordinary flight scene, game clip or meme edit into a moment of emergency even when nothing serious is actually happening on screen.

Pro tip

Place the alarm right on the moment of impact or descent, not before it, and let it play once at full volume without music underneath. Pair it with a shaky cockpit view or rapid altitude drop, then cut to silence for the punchline.

How people use it

Adding panic to flight simulator crash and near-miss edits.
Punctuating meme videos where something falls too fast.
Creating tension in aviation disaster and cockpit roleplay scenes.
Soundtracking gaming clips with planes losing altitude quickly.

More information

The pull up callout comes from aircraft ground proximity warning systems, designed to alert pilots when terrain or a low altitude becomes dangerous. Recordings and recreations of cockpit alarms from jets like the Boeing 717 have spread through flight simulator communities, aviation forums and meme soundboards. The short, commanding phrase became a reusable reaction sound online because it needs no context to understand. Creators borrow the realism of a real cockpit warning to make fictional crashes, drops and failures feel instantly urgent and recognisable.
