About this sound
The short mute toggle sound from Discord, used in memes, edits and screen recordings to signal someone getting muted or cutting off a call.
This clip is the brief interface sound heard when mute is toggled in Discord. It is very short, clean and digital, with the kind of crisp notification feel people instantly connect to voice chat and online calls. Because it is so recognizable, creators use it as a quick punchline when someone says the wrong thing, gets interrupted, or suddenly goes silent. The sound lands fast, so it works well as a tiny comedic cut that suggests being shut down without needing any extra explanation from the viewer.
