Skyline was one of Samsung's default notification sounds, widely heard on Galaxy phones during the 2010s as the alert for incoming text messages. Because Samsung phones were so common, the short chime became instantly recognisable even outside the phone itself, and it later spread through ringtones, soundboards and short video edits. Creators still use it today because it instantly signals a phone notification without explanation, while also carrying a clear mid-2010s nostalgia for viewers who remember that era of Android phones.

The Samsung Skyline SMS notification tone from 2016, a short bright chime for incoming messages, often reused as a nostalgic phone sound in videos and edits.
The Skyline tone is a brief Samsung notification sound, lasting under two seconds, built around a clean, rising pair of notes with a soft, glassy finish. It sounds instantly familiar to anyone who used a Samsung Galaxy phone in the mid-2010s, because it marked the arrival of a new text message. In a video, that familiarity does the work for you: viewers recognise the alert before they consciously think about it, which makes a scene feel immediate, everyday and slightly nostalgic. It is light rather than dramatic, so it fits casual moments, phone jokes and realistic everyday scenes without pulling attention away from the action.
