  • Google is working on a new Audio Emoji sound for Halloween.
  • We were able to activate this option in a beta version of Google’s Phone app.
  • This sound will likely be released before Halloween on October 31.

Google introduced an Audio Emoji feature on the Pixel 8a phone app earlier this year, effectively acting as a soundboard for your phone calls. The feature has since landed on other Pixel phones, and it looks like Google will add a spooky sound to mark Halloween.

We spotted a Halloween-themed Audio Emoji option in a beta version of the Google Phone app (version 149.0.682953539-publicbeta-pixel2024). This plays a creepy sound that includes a sinister laugh, a shrieking cat, and a thunderbolt. We were able to activate the feature too. Check out a screen recording below.
