About this sound

✦ AI

A loud, distorted earrape version of former Taiwanese president Ma Ying-jeou coughing, used as a jarring jump-scare and reaction sound in meme edits.

This clip takes a short cough from Ma Ying-jeou and blows it up into full earrape, so the familiar throat-clearing burst arrives suddenly, harsh, clipped and much louder than expected. The original cough is still recognisable underneath the distortion, but the boosted volume and crackling edges turn a mundane human sound into something deliberately uncomfortable and funny. Played at full volume it startles listeners, cuts through a quiet scene and instantly signals that a joke is about to land badly on purpose. That shock value is exactly why creators reach for it rather than a clean cough.

Ma Ying-jeou is a Taiwanese politician who served as president of the Republic of China from 2008 to 2016, and his public appearances made his voice and mannerisms widely recognisable in Taiwan and across Chinese-language internet culture. This soundboard clip isolates one of his coughs and pushes it through heavy earrape distortion, a style of meme audio that deliberately maximises loudness and clipping for comic shock. Shared under its Chinese title, it survives as a niche reaction sound because the contrast between a formal political figure and an absurdly loud cough is instantly funny.
