The Codec is the radio system used throughout the Metal Gear Solid series, introduced in the 1998 PlayStation game, where Snake receives briefings through an earpiece interface. Its menu and call-ending tones became part of the series identity alongside alerts and the enemy spotted style callouts familiar to tactical game players. Clips of the exit tone spread through gaming forums, YouTube edits and soundboards as a compact sign-off sound. It remains popular because a single short beep instantly signals mission over, conversation closed, and scene ended.

The short codec exit beep from Metal Gear Solid, played when Snake ends a radio call. Gamers use it to punctuate endings, hang-ups and stealth exits.
This is the brief electronic chirp that closes a Codec conversation in Metal Gear Solid. It is a clean, digital double tone, instantly recognisable to players as the radio cutting off after a briefing or a tense exchange with Snake. Out of context it still reads as a deliberate sign-off, which is why it lands so well at the end of a clip. The sound carries a small hit of nostalgia and finality, turning an ordinary cut to black or a walk-away moment into a knowing, game-literate punchline.
