About this sound

The low battery alert chime from RED devices like the Hydrogen One, a short electronic warning tone creators use for dying phones and failing gadgets in videos.

This is the brief low battery warning played by RED devices, including the Hydrogen One phone, lasting less than a second. It is a clean, electronic alert tone with a flat, urgent feel rather than a melody, designed to be noticed instantly over other audio. The sound reads immediately as a device running out of power, so even without any visuals it creates a small moment of panic or comedy. Viewers understand the situation at once, which makes the clip useful as a quick, wordless punchline about something shutting down.

Pro tip

Place the tone right as a phone screen dims or a character notices a blinking battery icon, and keep the surrounding audio quiet for a beat so the alert cuts through. Do not loop it, the single hit lands harder.

How people use it

Drop it when a phone dies mid conversation on camera.
Use it for robot toys losing power in skits.
Play it as a controller shuts off during gameplay.
Add it to edits showing a laptop about to close.

More information

RED is best known for professional cinema cameras, and the Hydrogen One was its Android smartphone released in 2018. Its system alerts, including this low battery tone, were later ripped from the device and shared online as standalone clips. Because the alert is so short and recognisable, editors kept it after the phone itself faded from use, turning a plain system warning into a reusable effect for any battery, robot, or gadget running out of charge in memes and short videos.

FAQ

What is the RED low battery sound?

It is the short electronic warning tone played by RED devices when the battery is running low. The clip lasts less than a second and is taken from devices such as the Hydrogen One smartphone, so it sounds like a plain system alert.

Where does the RED low battery sound come from?

The sound comes from the system alerts built into RED devices, with the Hydrogen One given as the example source. RED made the Hydrogen One as an Android smartphone, and users extracted its notification and warning tones for use online.

How do creators use the RED low battery sound?

Creators place the single tone over a phone, laptop, controller, or robot at the moment it loses power. Because it is so brief, it works best as a one hit punchline, timed to a screen dimming, blinking icon, or sudden shutdown.
