Google Hangouts launched in 2013 as Google's unified messaging service for text, voice and video calls across Android, iOS and the web. Its default notification tone became widely recognised during the years when Hangouts was preinstalled on many Android phones and used inside Gmail. After Google wound the service down in 2022 in favour of Google Chat and Google Meet, the chime survived online as a standalone clip. Creators now reuse it for fake message pranks, tech nostalgia and instant alert jokes long after the app itself disappeared.

The classic Google Hangouts notification sound, a short digital chime played for new messages and calls. People use it for alerts, pranks and nostalgic edits.
This is the short notification chime from Google Hangouts, the bright two-tone ping heard when a new message or call arrived. It lasts just over a second, with a clean digital pop that cuts through background noise without being harsh. The sound feels instantly familiar to anyone who used Hangouts for chatting in the 2010s, triggering a quick urge to check a phone or laptop. In videos it works as an instant alert cue, signalling a new message, a sudden interruption or a nostalgic throwback to early messaging apps.
