About this sound

The Cybus Cyberman Delete sound effect from Doctor Who, featuring the robotic voice shouting its catchphrase for meme edits and reaction videos.

This is a short clip of a Cybus Industries Cyberman delivering its signature order in a flat, metallic voice. The sound is clipped and commanding, with heavy electronic processing that makes the single word feel cold and inhuman. Lasting just over a second, it lands like a robotic verdict rather than a line of dialogue. Viewers instantly recognise the menace behind the monotone delivery, and the abruptness makes it funny when dropped into an ordinary situation where something is about to be removed, rejected or shut down without discussion.

Pro tip

Place the Delete shout right on the frame where an object, comment or character disappears, with no fade in. Keep the original volume punchy and avoid reverb, then cut to silence or a hard freeze for half a second to sell the robotic finality.

How people use it

Drop it when deleting a file on screen.
Use it for rejecting a bad gaming take instantly.
Play it when a character gets removed from a scene.
Add it to meme edits about ruthless moderators banning users.

More information

The Cybus Cybermen were introduced in the revived Doctor Who in 2006, in the two-part story Rise of the Cybermen and The Age of Steel. Created on a parallel Earth by Cybus Industries founder John Lumic, this version converted humans as an upgrade and ordered enemies deleted. The harsh synthesised Delete delivery quickly separated them from the classic Cybermen from 1966. Clips of the line spread through fan edits and forums, and the sound stayed popular as a short, recognisable shorthand for cold, robotic elimination.

FAQ

What does the Cyberman say in this sound?

The Cyberman shouts Delete in a heavily processed, monotone robotic voice. It is the Cybus version's order for eliminating anyone who resists conversion, delivered as a single short blast that lasts just over one second.

Where is the Cyberman Delete sound from?

It comes from the revived series of Doctor Who and its Cybus Industries Cybermen, first seen in 2006. These parallel Earth Cybermen were created by John Lumic as an upgrade for humanity and became known for their Delete command.

Why do people use the Cyberman Delete sound in edits?

Creators use it because the delivery is instant, recognisable and final. Dropping it over a deletion, rejection or ban makes the moment feel robotic and absolute, and the contrast between the dramatic voice and a mundane action creates the joke.
