Google Hangouts launched in 2013 as Google's messaging and video calling platform, replacing several earlier chat services before calls were later moved toward Google Meet and Chat. Its outgoing tone became familiar to students and remote workers who used Hangouts for group video chats in the 2010s. As other apps rose in popularity, creators began reusing the ring as a nostalgic shorthand for an online call starting, in much the same way a Discord call sound signals a modern gaming chat joining.

The outgoing call tone from Google Hangouts, the familiar ringing chime played while waiting for someone to answer a voice or video chat online.
This is the outgoing call sound from Google Hangouts, a short looping ringing tone heard while a voice or video call connects. It has a clean, digital chime quality, softer and more melodic than a traditional phone ring, with a steady repeating pattern that signals waiting rather than an incoming alert. At just two seconds, the clip captures the start of that loop, instantly bringing back the feeling of calling a friend, classmate or coworker and watching the screen while hoping they pick up before it times out.
