The PlayStation 5, released by Sony in 2020, uses short electronic system sounds throughout its interface to confirm actions such as signing in, switching users and signing out. Clips of those console sounds have circulated online as creators reuse them to give gaming videos, streams and memes an authentic PlayStation feel without needing to record a console themselves. The logout tone in particular has stayed useful because it is instantly recognisable to players and clearly marks an ending, making it a handy shorthand for leaving a game, a lobby or a session.
About this sound
The short chime heard when signing out of a PlayStation 5, a clean electronic logout tone used in gaming videos, memes and edits about leaving a session.
This is the brief system chime that plays when a player signs out of a PlayStation 5 account, lasting under two seconds and built from a soft, rising electronic tone that resolves cleanly rather than ending abruptly. It feels familiar to anyone who has used the console, instantly signalling that a session has ended, a profile has been switched or someone has stepped away from the game. Because it is so short and recognisable, it works as a neat audio punctuation mark, giving a clip a polished, console-authentic finish without distracting from the action on screen.
