A funny duck voice says pato tienes un mensaje in Spanish, a popular notification sound effect people set as a fun WhatsApp alert and ringtone.

Pato tienes un mensaje is a short Spanish notification clip where a squeaky duck-like voice announces that you have received a message. The phrase is delivered quickly and playfully, with a cartoon tone that makes an ordinary phone alert feel silly and impossible to ignore. It works because it replaces a plain beep with clear words and a funny character voice, so listeners instantly understand a new message has arrived while also getting a small joke every time their phone goes off in public or at home.

The phrase pato tienes un mensaje translates from Spanish as duck you have a message, and the clip has circulated online mainly as a novelty alert rather than as part of a known show or film. Spanish speakers share it for phones because the meaning is instantly clear and the duck voice makes it stand out from default tones. It remains popular in soundboard collections and message groups, where short, recognizable notification jokes are reused for chats, memes and everyday phone customization across generations of devices.
