RTL Nieuws is the news division of the Dutch commercial broadcaster RTL, and this short alert was introduced in 2026 as its new push notification sound for mobile apps, according to the clip's publisher. Whenever a headline breaks, the two-second chime pings on subscribers' phones across the Netherlands. The sound soon appeared on soundboards, where Dutch creators use it to spoof breaking-news moments in memes and parody edits. Its brief, authoritative pulse shares DNA with the famous Law and Order dun dun, another short television sting built to announce serious news.
About this sound
The RTL News push notification alert used on the Dutch broadcaster's app since 2026. A short breaking-news chime that plays when a headline arrives on your phone.
This is the short alert jingle RTL Nieuws has used for its mobile push notifications since 2026. It lasts just over two seconds and plays whenever a breaking news headline is pushed to phones in the Netherlands. The tone is bright and urgent without sounding alarming, a clean digital chime with a quick upward motion that immediately reads as news. Hearing it in a video instantly signals a fresh headline or an important update, which makes it a handy punctuation for mock news flashes, plot twists and parody alert edits. Listeners recognise the pattern at once, so even a single playback carries the weight of a live news bulletin.
