Sherbet was one of the built-in notification sounds on Samsung Galaxy phones during the Galaxy S2 generation of the early 2010s, when Samsung's cheerful stock tones became part of everyday phone culture. As those devices aged out, clips of the tone resurfaced on soundboards and ringtone archives, kept alive by nostalgia for the early Android era. Today it pops up in tech throwback edits and notification sound compilations alongside other iconic alerts like the Discord Notification tone, where a single chime is enough to make viewers of a certain age smile.
About this sound
The classic Sherbet notification tone from Samsung Galaxy S2 phones. This short, sweet chime works for message alerts, meme edits and nostalgic tech videos.
Sherbet is one of the stock notification tones that shipped on Samsung Galaxy phones around the Galaxy S2 era. The clip lasts under two seconds: a bright, bouncy little chime with a soft, rounded attack that sounds a bit like a tiny xylophone or a candy wrapper popping. It is cheerful without being harsh, which is why it worked so well as a default alert. Hearing it now hits a very specific nostalgic nerve, instantly recalling early-2010s Android phones, and that recognition is exactly what gives the sound its charm in memes and edits.
