TikTok’s sonic logo is one of the fastest growing sonic logos in history. Today, that little sound is being heard millions of times a day on apps like Instagram, Reddit and Youtube… but creating it wasn’t easy.

Roscoe Williamson and
Aifric Lennon from
MassiveMusic.
Twenty Thousand Hertz is produced by
