About this sound

The Samsung Galaxy S7 startup and shutdown sounds, with the soft chimes the 2016 Android phone played when powering on and off, for tech and nostalgia videos.

The clip pairs the two signature tones from Samsung's 2016 flagship, opening with the gentle, rising startup melody that once greeted owners every time they switched the Galaxy S7 on, then closing with its quieter, descending shutdown tone. Both are clean, polished and instantly recognisable, with a soft electronic warmth rather than a harsh beep or buzz. Played together, they trigger a small rush of nostalgia for mid-2010s Android, instantly signalling a phone turning on, a device powering down, or a throwback tech moment without needing any explanation.

Pro tip

Drop the startup chime as a phone screen lights up, then cut to black on the shutdown tone to close a retro tech review. Keep it low under voiceover, and avoid looping either tone, since the charm is in that brief, familiar power cycle.
