This sound comes from Jeopardy, the long-running television quiz show known for its answer-and-question format. The incorrect response cue became widely recognizable through broadcast episodes, reruns, and online clips, then spread into meme culture as a quick shorthand for being wrong. Today it is commonly dropped into reaction videos, trivia edits, and social posts where someone misses an easy question. Its staying power comes from how instantly the game show context reads, even when the clip lasts barely a second.
About this sound
The classic wrong-answer buzzer from Jeopardy, used in memes, quiz edits, and fail clips when someone gives a bad guess or gets a question wrong.
This clip is the familiar Jeopardy wrong-answer sound, a short buzzer-style stinger that instantly signals a failed response. It has a clean, TV game show feel that people recognize right away, so it works fast even in very short edits. Creators use it to underline bad guesses, wrong trivia answers, awkward mistakes, and confident takes that immediately fall apart. Because the sound is so brief and punchy, it adds a light comedic sting without overpowering dialogue or the rest of the scene.
