The short ICQ outgoing message beep from the classic messaging app, used as a nostalgic notification sound in retro edits and chat videos.

This is the ICQ outgoing instant message tone, a short electronic blip lasting barely a third of a second. It plays as a quick, bright chirp that signals a message has just been sent. For people who grew up with early desktop messaging, the sound instantly triggers recognition and works as a punchline on its own, marking a send action, a pop-up notification, or a sudden digital interruption in a video.

ICQ launched in 1996 as one of the first widely used instant messaging programs, and its interface sounds became familiar to millions of early internet users. The outgoing message tone was part of the default sound set in later desktop versions, including releases around 2008 that kept the classic beeps. As ICQ faded, the sounds survived online as nostalgia clips, shared in soundboards and reused in videos recreating old AIM and ICQ chats, forum culture, and dial-up era computing.

Drop it exactly on the frame where a chat bubble, email, or on-screen message appears to be sent. Keep the volume slightly above the dialogue for one hit, then cut it clean. Do not loop it rapidly, or the retro charm turns into an annoying alarm.
