About this sound

✦ AI

The classic LINE app ringtone, a short melodic notification tone used when a call or message arrives on the messaging app, often added to videos and memes.

The LINE ringtone is a brief, bright notification melody that instantly signals an incoming call or message on the LINE messaging app. It opens with a light, cheerful chime and unfolds into a short, bouncy tune that feels friendly rather than urgent, making it easy to recognise even over background noise. At just over four seconds long, it is compact enough to slip into a video edit without taking over the scene. For listeners, it creates an immediate sense of someone reaching out, adding a playful, modern phone moment that feels familiar to anyone who uses messaging apps daily.

LINE is a messaging app launched in Japan in 2011 that grew into one of the most widely used communication platforms across East and Southeast Asia, where its calls and messages are part of everyday life. Its distinctive ringtone became instantly familiar to millions of users, so short clips of it began circulating on soundboards and in online videos as a quick way to signal a phone call. It remains popular because the sound is immediately recognisable, even to people who do not use the app themselves.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop the ringtone just before a character looks at their phone, then cut to the message on screen so the sound and the reaction land together. Keep the volume slightly below dialogue and avoid looping it, as repeating the short melody quickly becomes distracting.

  • A creator shows a character receiving an unexpected message.
  • An edit mimics a phone ringing during a funny scene.
