The Skype for Linux call end sound, a brief electronic tone heard when a call disconnects. Used in edits to mark a hang-up or awkward goodbye.

The Skype for Linux call end sound is a short, clean electronic chime that lasts just over a second, signalling that a voice or video call has finished. It has a soft, slightly hollow tone with a quick descending finish, instantly recognisable to anyone who used Skype on a Linux computer. In a video it works as a clear punctuation mark, telling the viewer the conversation is over without needing dialogue or a caption. It feels abrupt yet polite, so it can make a goodbye feel final, a joke land harder, or an awkward silence feel intentional and funny.

Skype became one of the most widely used voice and video calling apps in the 2000s and 2010s, and its simple call tones became familiar to millions of users. The Linux version kept the same straightforward approach to ending a call, with a short tone that left no doubt the connection had closed. As Skype faded from everyday use, the sound lived on in edits and soundboards, where it instantly signals a finished call in the same way as a Discord call tone. Its brevity and clarity keep it useful for creators today.

Drop it on the cut after the last word of a call scene, so the hang-up feels instant. Pair it with a phone screen closing, and avoid looping it or layering it over music, which dulls its clean ending.

  • Ending a fake phone call in a comedy sketch.
  • Cutting off an awkward conversation in a vlog.

  • Closing a reaction video after a prank call.
