Steam is Valve's PC gaming platform, launched in 2003, and its built in Friends and Chat system has used short notification tones for incoming messages for many years. As Steam grew into the main hub for PC players, this particular ding became familiar to millions who leave the client running while playing. Clips and edits online reuse it as an instantly readable shorthand for someone messaging you on PC, which keeps it circulating far outside the app itself.

The short Steam message notification sound effect from the Steam client, a brief ding played when you receive a new chat message from a friend.
This is the brief notification chime that plays in the Steam client when a new message arrives. It is a clean, high pitched electronic ding lasting less than a second, instantly recognizable to PC gamers. The sound is soft rather than startling, designed to get your attention without interrupting gameplay. Hearing it creates an immediate sense of anticipation, like a friend is trying to reach you, which is why it works so well as a subtle alert or comedic ping in edited videos.
