About this sound

✦ AI

The cute chirping call of a porg from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, used in memes and edits for a funny, adorable reaction to something small and unexpected.

The porg sound is a short burst of high-pitched chirps, squeaks and soft cooing that sounds like a small seabird crossed with a squeaky toy. It starts bright and curious, then rises into an excited little chatter that feels instantly cute rather than threatening. Hearing it makes a scene feel lighter and more playful, which is why editors use it to punctuate a surprise, a tiny creature appearing on screen, or a moment that is meant to be adorable instead of dramatic. The charm comes from how innocent it sounds, even when it is placed over something completely unrelated.

Porgs are the small, wide-eyed seabird creatures native to the island planet Ahch-To, first introduced in Star Wars: The Last Jedi in 2017. Their chirping, cooing calls quickly became one of the film's most recognisable sounds, and clips of porgs spread across social media as fans shared their favourite moments. Because the sound is instantly cute and unmistakably Star Wars, it has stayed popular in memes, reaction videos and fan edits, where a brief porg chirp can turn an ordinary moment into something playful.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop the chirp right on the cut when a cute animal, baby or tiny object first appears, and keep the volume slightly above the music so the squeak lands. Do not loop it for more than a second or two, or the charm turns annoying.

  • Reacting to a cute animal appearing in a video.
  • Punctuating a surprise reveal in a funny edit.
