The clip comes from Samsung's Galaxy S8, released in 2017 with Android 7.0 Nougat, and is listed as the device's Power Off sound. Samsung designed its system sounds to feel soft and modern, and this shutdown chime became familiar to millions of Galaxy owners as the phone's everyday closing sound. It later circulated on soundboards and in video edits, where creators reuse it to recreate an authentic Samsung moment. Its continued use comes from that recognition, especially among viewers who remember the S8 era of Android phones.
About this sound
The Samsung Galaxy S8 shutdown sound from Android 7.0 Nougat, a short electronic power-off chime used in phone videos, edits and tech nostalgia clips.

In videos it adds a clean sense of closure, nostalgia or tech authenticity, making a scene feel like a real phone moment instead of a generic edit.
