The low battery alert from Xiaomi phones on MIUI 1 to 5, a short electronic chime warning that power is almost gone. It is used in phone and battery jokes.

This is the tiny warning chime that played when a Xiaomi phone running an early version of MIUI was about to run out of power. Lasting less than half a second, it is a clean, high-pitched electronic blip that cuts through whatever is happening on screen without sounding harsh or alarming. Because it is so short and instantly familiar to anyone who used those phones, it lands as a quick punch of recognition, a signal that something is draining, fading or about to stop. In edits it works as a subtle joke about low energy, a dying device or a plan running out of steam.

This alert comes from Xiaomi phones running MIUI versions 1 to 5, the company's early Android interface, where it played as the system warning when the battery reached a low level. Long after those versions were replaced, the short chime survived on soundboards and in phone-themed edits because it is immediately recognisable to early Xiaomi users without needing any explanation. Its brevity makes it easy to drop into memes about dying phones, drained energy and technology failing at the worst possible moment.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop it just as a phone screen dims or a battery icon flashes red, then cut straight to the reaction. Keep it at its original short length and do not loop it, because repeating the alert quickly turns a familiar warning into an irritating beep.

  • A creator shows a phone dying during an important call.
  • A gamer jokes that their controller battery is almost empty.
