The AusAlert tone \u2014 loud and alarming.<\/p>\n

The AusAlert tone as a club dance track \u2014 catchy and rhythmic.<\/p>\n

The internet will make content out of anything these days, and so it should be no surprise the Federal Government\u2019s test of its new emergency warning system on Monday has been the subject of much interest.<\/p>\n

Reaction videos and parodies have entertained social media users after the piercing tone made audio waves for 10 seconds on smartphones and tablets across the nation.<\/p>\n

But it was one Aussie comedian\u2019s use of the tone that might have gone the most viral.<\/p>\n

Content creator and performer Con Coutis \u201cmade a beat\u201d out of the alarm \u2014 sourced from a Channel 7 explainer video \u2014 that listeners can\u2019t get enough of.<\/p>\n

Posted to Instagram, the tune begins with a warning from 7NEWS Australia\u2019s social media team which states: \u201cThis is your reminder that on Monday, July 27th, your phone will vibrate and make this noise.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the clip, Coutis can be seen holding his laptop to the camera as the dance track plays, then bobbing his head as the beat drops while wearing dark sunglasses.<\/p>\n

\u201cI made this in an hour be nice,\u201d Coutis captioned the post.<\/p>\n
