About this sound

✦ AI

The FaceTime end sound is the short hang up tone played when an Apple video call finishes, used in edits to signal a conversation ending abruptly.

This is the clean, electronic beep heard at the moment a FaceTime call disconnects. The tone is brief and slightly descending, instantly recognisable to iPhone and Mac users as the end of a conversation. It carries no voice or music, just a soft digital chime that feels final and a little abrupt. Online, creators use that familiarity for comic effect, cutting to the sound when someone hangs up, leaves a chat, or wants to escape an awkward moment. Its power comes from how ordinary and unmistakable it is in everyday calls.

The sound originates from FaceTime, the video calling service Apple introduced in 2010 for iPhone, iPad and Mac. The short hang up tone was designed as a clear audio cue that a call had ended, similar to a traditional phone disconnect signal. As screen recorded calls and call parody videos became common on social media, editors began lifting the tone on its own to mark fake hang ups. Its association with everyday Apple devices has kept it in regular meme and edit use.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place the FaceTime end sound right on the cut where a face leaves frame or a chat window closes, with no fade. Keep the preceding dialogue slightly too long so the abrupt beep lands as the punchline, not as background.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • End a fake video call skit abruptly for comedy
  • Signal someone hanging up during a reaction edit
  • Cut off an awkward conversation in a meme video
  • Punctuate leaving a group chat in a TikTok
