Among Us is a social deduction game developed by Innersloth and released in 2018, which exploded in popularity in 2020 as streamers and friends played it together online. The word sus, short for suspicious, became its signature slang for accusing another player of being the impostor, and clips of the game flooded TikTok, YouTube and Twitch. The short start sound travelled with those edits, becoming shorthand for doubt and hidden motives, and creators still use it today to signal that something, or someone, cannot be trusted.

The short start-up jingle from Among Us that plays when a match begins, often used in memes and videos to flag something suspicious or call out a sus moment.
The Among Us start sound is a brief, bright electronic jingle that signals the beginning of a round, with a clean synthesized tone that rises quickly and then resolves in a playful, slightly tense flourish. It lasts only a few seconds, but it is instantly recognisable to anyone who has played the social deduction game, because it marks the moment crewmates and impostors are dropped into the map. In videos, it creates an immediate sense of suspicion and anticipation, cueing viewers to look for the impostor, the lie, or the odd behaviour that is about to be exposed.
