Discord users are no longer just typing. In addition to text of all kinds, people will now send you a meme, or a picture joke image with sound effects attached to it for even greater expression and impact, among these the one that seems catchiest is sound buttons.

But what are sound buttons? They're short snippets of sound that you play with just one click. Now we're seeing them being used for all sorts, from funny meme sounds to dramatic voice effects. On Discord and everywhere else where people chat.

Why Sound Buttons Are Great for Discord

In a word, Discord is all about showing off your personality, and sound buttons help you do that. You can add funny sound effects to your chatter or surprise your friends with a clever sound right when it's needed. At the end of a game a "Mission Complete" sound will make your friends love it!

Have you ever participated in a conversation where no one knows what to say? Sound buttons are a remedy for that! Playing a cheap "Womp Womp" sound, or the theme of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" to make everyone laugh. They’re great for starting new conversations and bringing people closer together.

Gaming and Discord are a perfect match together. Sound buttons make victories that much sweeter and defeats just hilarious. Play a victory tune after winning or use the sad trombone effect when somebody messes up. A gaming soundboard with these effects as your set-up can make any session memorable.
