The PS4 menu appear sound effect from the PlayStation 4 interface, a short UI pop often used in gaming edits, menus and console startup videos.
This is the short appear sound heard when an item pops into the PlayStation 4 home menu, a clean digital blip with a soft whoosh underneath. It lasts just over two seconds and feels light and futuristic, matching the console's smooth blue interface.
