About this sound

The Samsung Galaxy S2 startup sound is the classic boot chime from Samsung's 2011 Android phone, used in tech videos, nostalgia edits and phone pranks.

This is the short electronic boot tone that played when a Samsung Galaxy S II powered on, rising in a bright, clean chime before settling into its final note. It lasts under five seconds and feels instantly dated in a good way, tied to early Android smartphones with physical home buttons and removable batteries. The tone is cheerful rather than dramatic, signalling that the device is awake and ready. Hearing it now triggers nostalgia for longtime Samsung users, while younger listeners know it mainly as a retro tech sound dropped into videos for comic timing.

Pro tip

Place the chime right as a phone, computer or character 'wakes up' on screen, starting it a fraction before the visual reveal. Keep the original volume clean and unlayered, and do not loop it, because its nostalgia lands best once.

How people use it

Adding retro phone nostalgia to early Android throwback videos.
Punctuating a character waking up or powering on screen.
Pranking friends by playing a fake phone startup aloud.
Scoring tech reviews comparing old and modern Samsung phones.

More information

The Galaxy S II launched in 2011 as the successor to the original Galaxy S and became one of the best selling early Android phones. Its startup tone formed part of Samsung's mobile identity at a time when every manufacturer used a distinct boot sound. As phones moved to silent, always on use, those chimes disappeared from daily life and resurfaced online instead. Clips like this one are now shared on soundboards, in nostalgia compilations and in memes contrasting older Samsung devices with current models that start without fanfare.
