The mastodon boop sounds are called boop and were created by Josef Kenny

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/03/24

You can find the binary files sound files of the Mastodon beep sound at

They were created by [Wayback/Archive] Josef Kenny (blog: [Wayback/Archive] josef.one; Mastodon “i made that mastodon boop sound”: [Wayback/Archive] josef (@jk@mastodon.social) – Mastodon) early 2017 and updated with metadata later that year. In 2022 it became clear that using the sound is allowed as long as there is credit:

  1. [Wayback/Archive] josef: “@ninjawedding I authorize this…” – Mastodon

    @ninjawedding I authorize this derivative work!! maybe you could put “josefkenny.com” in the comment field too

  2. [Wayback/Archive] josef: “@tooot yes, you are welcome to…” – Mastodon

    @tooot yes, you are welcome to use the sound, so long as I am credited somewhere!

Github links:

It is the level of details in the commit and pull request that I love so much about many open source project: getting the final details right is very fulfilling.
