About this sound

The Samsung washing machine startup and shutdown chime, a short electronic jingle played when a cycle begins and ends, used for appliance memes and edits.

This clip captures the familiar two-part chime a Samsung washing machine plays when it powers on and when it finishes. It starts with a bright, ascending electronic melody and closes with a softer descending shutdown tune, both clean and synthetic with no other noise. The sound is instantly recognisable to anyone who owns a Samsung washer, which makes it funny out of context. Placed over everyday moments it gives an ordinary action the feeling of a machine booting up or a task officially completing.

Pro tip

Place the startup jingle right before a reveal or transformation and save the shutdown tune for the punchline ending. Keep the original volume clean without music underneath, because the chime is the joke and gets lost if you layer it.

How people use it

Add startup chime when a character powers on.
Use shutdown tune to end a failed attempt.
Play it over laundry or cleaning routine videos.
Drop it when a computer or game loads.

More information

Samsung washing machines replaced harsh buzzers with melodic electronic chimes to signal power, cycle start and cycle completion, making laundry appliances sound friendlier. Owners began recording the startup and shutdown sequence and sharing it online because the tune is surprisingly catchy and easy to recognise from another room. The clip spread as a relatable household sound, reused in memes about starting chores, finishing tasks, or treating everyday machines like computers booting up and shutting down.
