Samsung televisions have long used short electronic chimes to confirm powering on and off, replacing a simple click with a softer, branded audio cue that owners hear every day. Clips of the shutdown tone have circulated online as a standalone sound effect, separate from any show, film, or meme character. Creators reuse it because it is instantly recognisable as a television switching off, giving edits a clean, realistic ending without needing dialogue or explanation.
About this sound
The soft electronic chime Samsung televisions play when they power down, used in edits to signal an ending, a device switching off, or a scene fading out.
This is the brief power-down chime from a Samsung television, a clean, soft electronic tone that rises and falls in just over a second before fading to silence. It sounds polished and familiar rather than dramatic, like the gentle electronic sigh a TV makes as its screen goes dark. Because almost everyone recognises that household sound, it instantly tells a viewer that something has finished, switched off, or gone quiet, making it a neat punctuation mark at the end of a joke, a failed attempt, or a scene that is meant to cut abruptly to black.
