이 사운드에 대하여

The classic Pac-Man death sound effect from the arcade game, with its descending wail as the hero is caught by a ghost. Ideal for game over moments in videos.

This is the instantly recognisable sound that plays when Pac-Man loses a life in the classic arcade game. It starts with a quick, rising blip before collapsing into a long, descending electronic wail that spirals downward and ends with a soft pop. The tone is playful rather than scary, but it clearly signals failure and finality. Hearing it instantly tells a viewer that a run is over, a character has been caught, or a plan has fallen apart, which is why it works so well as a punchline for a sudden mistake or a dramatic game over moment.

Pac-Man was released as an arcade game in Japan in 1980 and became one of the most recognisable video games ever made. In the game, the player guides Pac-Man through a maze while avoiding ghosts, and this sound plays when a ghost finally catches him and a life is lost. As arcade culture moved online, the wail became a shorthand for failure in gaming videos, reaction clips and memes. Its simple, cartoon-like tone keeps it funny rather than harsh, which is why creators still reach for it decades later.

사용을 위한 전문가 팁

Drop it right on the frame where your character is caught, and cut the music underneath so the descending wail stands out. Pair it with a freeze frame, but do not loop it, as repeating the wail quickly loses its comic timing.
