Xinwen Lianbo is the main evening news programme of China Central Television, known in English as CCTV News, and its opening fanfare is recognised across China as the signal for the national news. Online, soundboard users have shared an especially loud, boosted version of that opening, labelled as the loudest start, for use in jokes and edits that borrow the authority of a news broadcast. It remains popular because the familiar theme needs no explanation: a few seconds instantly set up a mock announcement, a dramatic reveal or an over-the-top interruption.
About this sound
The loud opening theme from CCTV News (Xinwen Lianbo), China's national news broadcast, boosted to maximum volume for dramatic intros, memes and reaction edits.
This is the familiar orchestral opening fanfare of Xinwen Lianbo, the flagship evening news programme broadcast by China Central Television, presented here at an exaggerated, maximum volume. Bold brass, sweeping strings and driving percussion build in a formal, authoritative swell that instantly signals important national news is about to begin. The sheer loudness turns that serious tone into something startling and funny, so listeners brace for impact, then laugh at the contrast between the dignified music and its overwhelming blast.
