The Quest 2 launched in 2020 as the Oculus Quest 2 before Meta rebranded the headset line, and its system sounds became familiar to millions of VR players. Clips of gameplay endings, battery deaths and headset removals spread the shutdown tone beyond VR, especially on YouTube and TikTok where editors reuse game UI sounds as comedy punctuation. Because the chime is short, clean and instantly signals powering off, it survived the rebrand and now works even in non-VR videos as a universal off switch.

The Oculus Quest 2 shutdown sound effect from the Meta VR headset, a short descending power-off tone creators use for tech fails and ending scenes.
This is the exact power-off chime that plays when a Meta Quest 2 headset shuts down, a clean electronic tone that drops in pitch and fades out in just over three seconds. It sounds calm and final, like a system politely signing off rather than crashing. That sense of closure is why it lands so well on screen. Placed after a mistake, a frozen game or a sudden exit, it tells the viewer everything is over without needing words, turning an ordinary ending into a small, recognizable punchline.
