The codec system debuted in the Metal Gear series and became iconic with Metal Gear Solid on PlayStation in 1998, where Solid Snake received mission briefings from his support team by radio. Its two-tone call signal was designed to be heard instantly over gameplay, and it returned in sequels, remakes and spin-offs for decades. As gameplay clips and fan edits spread online, the beep escaped the games and became shorthand for a covert incoming call, which is why it remains popular as a ringtone and meme cue.

The Metal Gear Solid codec call sound effect, the distinctive radio beep from the game series used for incoming calls, alerts and stealth game edits.
This is the short electronic codec ring from Metal Gear Solid, a series of two sharp beeps that signal an incoming radio transmission. The clean, futuristic chirp instantly places the listener inside a stealth mission briefing, even without any dialogue following it. Creators use that instant recognition to turn an ordinary phone call or message into a secret mission moment. The sound is brief, tense and playful at the same time, which makes it perfect as a notification tone or as a comedic cue when a character receives important information.
