About this sound

✦ AI

Frye from Splatoon 3 plays a bright flute tune to call her eels, a distinctive game sound fans use for playful reveals, summons and meme edits.

The clip captures Frye Onaga, one of Splatoon's Deep Cut idols, playing a short, lilting flute phrase that rises and falls like a playful summons. The tone is bright and slightly mischievous, with quick notes that feel both ancient and cartoonish, as if she is calling something from just out of sight. In Splatoon 3 it signals her eels arriving, so listeners instantly sense a quirky entrance or a creature answering a call. Used in an edit, it adds instant character, turning an ordinary reveal into something cheeky, theatrical and unmistakably tied to Frye's bold personality.

Frye Onaga is one of the three hosts of Deep Cut, the in-game band and news team in Splatoon 3, released in 2022. Her flute call is tied to her eels, which she summons as part of her on-stage persona and in battle-related moments. Because the melody is short, bright and instantly recognisable to Splatoon fans, it has travelled beyond the game into short videos, memes and soundboards, where it works as a shorthand for calling something in or making a playful entrance. Its charm comes from Frye herself, whose energetic style makes a brief tune feel like a performance.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop it just before a character, pet or object pops into frame, letting the final note land on the reveal. Pair it with a quick zoom, but do not loop it, as repeating the short melody dulls its summoning charm.

Use Cases

  • Revealing a pet that suddenly appears on camera.
  • Summoning a friend into a gaming montage clip.
