Sweet Leaf is the opening track on Black Sabbath's 1971 album Master of Reality, and its first seconds feature a cough before the band's famous riff begins. The opening is widely recognised among heavy metal fans, instantly signalling the song's subject and its laid-back, rebellious attitude. Online, the isolated cough is shared on its own as a reaction sound, detached from the full track, and is commonly used in edits about smoking, rock culture and ironic overconfidence.

The dry, raspy cough that opens Black Sabbath's Sweet Leaf, used in edits and memes to punctuate a smoking joke, a bad hit, or a sudden stoner-rock moment.
This is the short, hacking cough heard right at the start of Sweet Leaf, before the heavy guitar riff kicks in. It sounds dry and a little strained, like someone has just taken a hit that was stronger than expected, followed by a second, shorter cough as they try to recover. Because it is so instantly recognisable to rock fans, it works as a punchline on its own, instantly setting a hazy, laid-back, slightly mischievous mood without needing any music or dialogue around it.
