Steam is Valve's PC gaming platform, and its toast notifications are the pop-up alerts that appear in the corner of the screen for friend activity, messages, achievements and invites. The sound became familiar to PC players through use of the client, rather than through a viral video, and editors later borrowed it to fake or parody those pop-ups in gameplay videos and streams. Like a Discord notification, it works as instant shorthand for a message arriving, which is why gaming creators still reach for it when they want a joke to feel like an in-game alert.

The short chime Steam plays for a toast notification, a soft two-note alert that tells players a friend message, achievement or invite has arrived.
This is the brief notification sound Steam uses when a small toast window pops up in the corner of the screen. It is a short, clean electronic chime, light and unobtrusive rather than loud or jarring, lasting under a second and resolving quickly so it does not interrupt gameplay. For players it instantly signals that something needs attention, a friend coming online, a new message, an achievement unlocking or an invitation waiting, without pulling them fully out of the game. In edits it works the same way, giving viewers a familiar cue that a message has arrived.
