The PlayStation 4 is Sony's home console, released in 2013, and its menu and system sounds became familiar to millions of players over the console's long life. The logout sound is one of those short interface tones, heard when a profile signs out or the system powers down. As clips from games and console audio spread on soundboards and in video edits, this brief chime took on a second life outside the console itself, becoming a shorthand way for creators to say a gaming session has finished.

The system chime from the PlayStation 4 when a user logs out or powers down, often used in gaming videos, edits and streams to signal the end of a session.
This is the brief system sound from the PlayStation 4 that plays when a player logs out or switches the console off. It is a clean, soft electronic chime that rises and fades in under two seconds, with none of the drama of a game effect or alert. For anyone who has spent evenings on a PS4, it carries an immediate sense of a session ending, a controller being put down and a game being left for another day. In edits it works as a quiet full stop, telling viewers the action is over without needing words or a fade to black.
