Discord launched in 2015 as a voice and text app for gamers, and its short notification tones became as recognisable as its interface. The leave tone plays whenever a user disconnects from a voice channel, so regular users hear it dozens of times in a session. Louder edits of familiar app sounds became a common meme format online, exaggerating a tiny everyday cue until it feels absurd. This boosted version circulated on soundboards and in edited clips, where it is still used to punch up exits, disconnects and fake walkouts.
