The Deep Note was created by James A. Moorer at Lucasfilm and debuted with the THX logo in 1983, designed to show off cinema sound systems. The company has remastered it several times for new theater formats, keeping the same rising-to-chord structure. Online, uploaders began ripping loud and bass-boosted versions for intros, parody trailers and earrape compilations. It endures because almost everyone recognizes it instantly as the sound of a movie about to start.

The iconic THX Deep Note cinema logo sound, swelling from a low rumble into a loud dramatic chord. Used as a joke intro before reveals and bass-boosted memes.
This is the famous THX Deep Note, the synthesized crescendo that plays over the THX logo before films. It begins as a cluster of low, detuned tones that slowly rise and merge, then blooms into a single massive, shimmering major chord with deep bass weight. Heard loud, it feels overwhelming and physical, like the room itself is vibrating. That sheer power is why it works so well as a meme, turning an ordinary reveal, logo parody or jump scare setup into something that feels like a theatrical event.
