Skype launched in 2003 and became the default way people made internet calls, with its chirpy ringtone baked into a decade of online culture. After Microsoft acquired Skype in 2011, the sound became a fixture of offices, streams and early YouTube videos. Bass boosted remixes of it began circulating online in the mid-2010s, riding the wave of distorted meme audio that turned every familiar notification into a joke. It remains popular because almost everyone recognises the ringtone, and the exaggerated low end turns a polite chime into a meme in its own right.

The classic Skype incoming call ringtone with heavy bass boost, stretched over seven seconds. Played for fake call pranks, ironic notifications and meme edits that need an obnoxious incoming call gag.
This is the instantly recognisable Skype incoming call chime pushed through a heavy bass boost, turning Microsoft's playful notification into a distorted, thundering rumble. The cheerful rising melody is still there underneath, but the low end swells until every notification feels like a subwoofer test. At just over seven seconds it loops the ringtone long enough to let the joke land, and the clipped, blown-out bass gives it that deliberately overdone meme flavour that makes viewers wince and laugh at the same time.
