Grand Theft Auto V was released by Rockstar Games in 2013, and its in-game phone system gave players a short, recognisable chime for incoming messages and updates. As gameplay clips, edits and memes spread online, the tone escaped its original context and became shorthand for a notification arriving at exactly the wrong or funniest moment. It remains popular alongside other Grand Theft Auto sounds such as the GTA SA Mission Passed sound and the aw Shit here we go again line, because it is instantly understood even without any on-screen text.

The notification chime from Grand Theft Auto V that plays for phone messages and in-game updates. Creators use it in memes and videos to signal a sudden alert.
This is the brief electronic notification tone heard in Grand Theft Auto V whenever the player's phone buzzes with a new message, contact or mission update. It opens with a soft, clean chime and resolves in a second, polished note that feels modern and slightly urgent without being loud or alarming. Because players have heard it hundreds of times while exploring Los Santos, it instantly reads as something important just arrived. In a video, that familiarity does the work: the audience expects news, a twist or a reply, and leans in for whatever appears on screen next.
