このサウンドについて

The classic MSN Messenger buzz alert sound from Windows Live Messenger, used in memes, nostalgia edits and chat skits to signal an annoying nudge.

This short clip is the familiar MSN Messenger buzz, the sharp alert that played when someone sent a nudge to grab your attention in chat. It is brief, electronic and instantly recognisable to anyone who used Messenger during its peak years. The sound carries a pushy, slightly chaotic energy, which is why it still lands well in comedy edits and retro internet content. Even at just over a second, it quickly tells the viewer that a message is urgent, annoying or impossible to ignore.

This sound comes from MSN Messenger, later Windows Live Messenger, where the Buzz or Nudge feature shook the chat window and played an alert to get another person's attention. The feature became a memorable part of mid-2000s online chatting and was widely referenced in forum jokes, parody videos and nostalgia posts. People still use the sound in modern edits because it instantly evokes old desktop messaging culture and the feeling of someone impatiently trying to force a reply.

使用のためのプロのヒント

Drop this sound exactly when a fake chat gets ignored, then cut to a screen shake or repeated pop-up. It works best with old desktop visuals; avoid layering it under heavy music or the buzz loses its sharp, intrusive effect.

使用例
