ding ding

Correct answer signal

Ding ding imitates the sound of a bell, especially one rung twice in quick succession.

It signals the start of a boxing round or wrestling match, and by extension, any confrontation: Ding ding, let's get this argument started.

It can announce arrival or readiness, or mark that someone has said something correct: Ding ding, we have a winner!
