The Metal Pipe Falling Sound Effect, also known as Destruction_Metal_Pole_L_Wave_2_0_0.wav, refers to the sound of a long metal pipe falling and hitting the ground. On YouTube and TikTok, among other video meme platforms like iFunny, the metal pipe falling sound has been used as a random punchline to various ironic memes. Many one-hour-long versions of the sound have surfaced online as well. It was first used on YouTube in 2020 by YouTuber Jixaw. Some claim that it's from the video game Battlefield 4. It was later used by Twitch streamers Pokelawls and xQc in their soundboard during GTA streams.
