At just over two seconds, the clip is compact enough for quick edits and usually needs little trimming. Download the MP3 to keep it available offline, then import it into an editor or soundboard. It can also be assigned as a short ringtone or notification tone if your device accepts custom audio. Because the voice arrives quickly, lower competing dialogue or music around the cue so it stays clear. For longer movement sequences, place a goofy running sound after the initial nyoom rather than overlapping both at full volume.
About this sound
Play the Neil deGrasse Tyson Nyoom button, download the MP3, or make it a ringtone. Its quick vocal burst fits zoom edits and sudden motion gags.
This sound is a very short vocal clip of Neil deGrasse Tyson saying “nyoom” in a playful, exaggerated way. It has a quick, cartoonish feel that instantly suggests speed, motion, or something blasting off frame. Because the delivery is so brief and recognizable, creators use it to punch up visual gags without interrupting the pacing of a video. It works especially well when an object, person, or caption suddenly zooms away, turning an ordinary transition into a silly meme moment with a light, nerdy tone.
