About this sound

✦ AI

The low battery alert from Xiaomi phones on MIUI 6 to 8, a brief electronic chime warning the charge is nearly empty and used in phone videos.

The Xiaomi MIUI low battery sound is a very short electronic alert, lasting less than half a second, that plays when a phone running MIUI 6, 7 or 8 reaches a low charge. It has a clean, slightly urgent two-note chime quality, with no voice and no musical melody, just a crisp notification tone designed to be noticed without being harsh. For viewers, it instantly reads as a phone warning, creating a small jolt of recognition, especially for anyone who has owned a Xiaomi device. That familiarity makes it useful for signalling a dying battery, a missed charge, or a moment of low energy in a clip.

This tone was one of the built-in system alerts on Xiaomi phones running the MIUI 6 to MIUI 8 interface, where it played automatically when the battery fell to a low level. Because millions of Xiaomi phones used that interface, the short chime became familiar to owners and was later shared on soundboards by people looking for authentic phone sounds. It remains in use today mainly for its realism, giving tech reviews, memes and short videos an instantly recognisable low-battery cue without needing a spoken explanation.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop it at the exact moment a phone screen shows a low percentage or a character realises their device is about to die, then cut to silence for a beat. Avoid looping it, as the alert loses its warning effect and quickly becomes annoying.

Use Cases

  • Showing a phone battery dropping to red in a video.
  • Adding a warning cue when a device is about to die.
  • Poking fun at a friend who never charges their phone.
  • Signalling low energy during a gaming or travel montage.
