The classic Nokia SMS alert tone of Morse code beeps for a new text message, now used in edits for retro phone jokes and incoming message gags.

This is the short electronic alert that played on Nokia phones when a text message arrived, made from a clean pattern of high beeps spelling out SMS in Morse code. The beeps are crisp, evenly spaced and instantly recognisable, with no voice, music or background noise behind them. At just over two seconds it lands as a clear signal rather than a tune. Hearing it now triggers a strong retro reaction, taking viewers straight back to early mobile phones, physical keypads and short text messages, which is why a simple phone alert still reads instantly in modern edits.

The tone comes from Nokia mobile phones, where the special SMS alert used beeps in Morse code to signal the letters S M S. As Nokia handsets spread worldwide in the late 1990s and early 2000s, that short alert became one of the most familiar electronic sounds of the texting era. Long after those keypad phones faded, the clip kept circulating on soundboards and in meme edits, valued less as a practical alert and more as an instant shorthand for an old-school incoming text.
