About this sound

This is the brief electronic beep a PlayStation 4 makes when it powers on, a clean high-pitched tone lasting less than half a second. It feels crisp and instantly familiar, carrying the small lift of a gaming session about to begin. The tone comes from Sony's console, first released in 2013, and plays every time the system is switched on.

How to use this button

Open your gaming setup tour with it as the console wakes up.
Mark the start of a stream right before you greet viewers.
Use it when a friend finally switches on their new console.
Cut to it when a gameplay clip begins after a black screen.

Where people drop it

TikTok

Twitch
Use it as your stream goes live to mark the session starting.
Discord
Send it in a gaming voice channel when everyone is ready to start.

Pro tip

Let it play on its own for a beat before any music or talking starts, so the familiar power-on cue registers before the next scene. Playing it twice in a row weakens that instant recognition.

Good to know

Put it at the very start of the edit, just before the console or setup appears, then follow the reveal with a Vine Boom Sound Effect for impact and a Bell Ding Sound Effect when the final item is shown.

FAQ

Can I save the PS4 startup beep as a ringtone?

Yes, download the MP3 and set it as your ringtone in your phone settings, choosing the file as the sound for incoming calls. It also works well as a short notification tone.

Will PlayStation players recognise the PS4 startup beep in a video?

Most will, because the tone is heard every time the console powers on and is closely tied to starting a game. It works best at the start of a clip, where that recognition lands straight away.

What should I pair with the PS4 startup beep in a setup video?

Follow it with a sound that marks the reveal, such as a boom or a ding when the console appears, then let the gameplay or commentary take over without adding more effects.
