About this sound

✦ AI

The loud wrong-answer buzzer from Family Feud, played for an incorrect guess and used online to call out failed answers, bad takes and awkward moments.

This is the short, harsh buzz that sounds when a Family Feud contestant gives a wrong answer. It is a low, grating electronic tone that cuts through the room noise, lasts just over a second, and instantly signals failure without a word being spoken. Because almost everyone instantly recognises it from the game show, hearing it creates an immediate comic punchline, turning a mistake into a joke and making the viewer feel the embarrassment along with the person on screen.

Family Feud is a long-running American television game show in which two families compete to guess the most popular answers to survey questions, with a wrong answer triggering a loud buzzer and a strike. The sound became familiar far beyond the show itself as clips, reaction videos and short-form edits reused it as shorthand for being wrong. It remains popular because it needs no explanation, works across languages and instantly turns an ordinary mistake into a clear, funny moment for viewers.
