About this sound

The Squid Game X button sound effect from the Netflix series, played when a player votes to stop the games. Creators use it for rejection and veto moments.

This short clip is the electronic buzzer-like tone heard when a contestant presses the X button to vote against continuing in Squid Game. It is sharp, flat and instantly recognisable, with a harsh digital edge that cuts through dialogue and music. Paired with the glowing red X on screen, it signals a firm no, a rejection and an attempt to end the deadly competition. Viewers feel the tension immediately because the sound means someone is risking disapproval from the group to try to stop the games and walk away alive.

Pro tip

Place the X buzz right on the frame where your subject shakes their head or presses something, then cut the music for half a second. Pair it with a big red X graphic and do not repeat it, or the veto loses impact.

How people use it

Voting no in a Squid Game parody sketch.
Rejecting a bad idea during a gaming stream.
Adding a veto buzzer to TikTok polls.
Punctuating a dramatic elimination in an edit.

More information

Squid Game is a South Korean Netflix drama that premiered in 2021, created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, about indebted contestants competing in children's games for a cash prize. In the voting scenes players choose O to continue or X to end the games, and the X response became a widely copied reaction online. Clips of the vote spread on TikTok and YouTube as a shorthand for refusing something outright, which helped the short buzzer tone survive beyond the show as a meme sound for polls, edits and gaming videos.
