The Gigaset GS160 is a budget Android smartphone from German manufacturer Gigaset, and its shutdown sound is one of the short system audio cues built into the handset. Sounds like this are often ripped from phones and shared on soundboards by collectors of retro tech audio, who value them as small, authentic fragments of everyday devices that are no longer widely used. The clip remains useful today because phone shutdown tones are instantly recognisable, easy to place at the end of a scene and hard to recreate convincingly without the original recording.
About this sound
The power-off chime from the Gigaset GS160 phone, a short shutdown jingle used in nostalgic tech edits, retro phone videos and soundboard clips.
This is the short shutdown sound played when a Gigaset GS160 is switched off, a brief electronic jingle that lasts just a few seconds. It opens with a light, synthesized tone and then winds down in a smooth, slightly melancholic sequence, the kind of polite farewell chime older Android phones used instead of a sudden silence. Hearing it instantly signals that a device is powering down, which gives edits a clear, tidy ending and a small hit of nostalgia for anyone who owned a budget smartphone from that era. It feels calm, clean and unmistakably like a phone saying goodbye.
