What Does “Bing Bong” Mean on TikTok?
For someone from New York, ‘Bing Bong’ must have been a familiar term even before it became viral on the internet. Why? It is because this ‘Bing Bong’ sound is what MTA trains play when they make sure that the riders are clear of the door.

The MTA train sounds do that job perfectly. Jack added that people tend to relate more to a song or a trend when they associate it with a personal experience. This sound hits back a memory for New York people.
