The sound comes from the Samsung Galaxy S8, released in 2017, where it served as the default power-on tone heard whenever the handset started up. Its ID3 title is listed as Power On 2017, reflecting that generation of Samsung boot sounds. As phone customisation and edit culture grew online, the chime was ripped and shared as a standalone clip, separate from the device itself. It remains popular because so many people heard it daily, and its short, recognisable rise now works as instant shorthand for a phone switching on.
