The clip is shared online as the Metrolink chime, a transit alert most uploaders simply label as a train coming sound. Metrolink is the name used by commuter rail and light rail networks, and chimes like this are played in stations and onboard trains to signal arrivals, departures and closing doors. Short transit sounds travel well on soundboards because they are instantly recognizable, and this one has stuck around as a handy shorthand for anything rail-related, from fan recordings to meme edits about commuting.

The Metrolink chime is the short two-tone ding played when a train arrives or doors close. Creators use it for commute clips, train memes and travel edits.
The Metrolink chime is a clean, melodic two-tone alert that plays for just under five seconds, the kind of bright ding-dong you hear echoing through a station when a train is coming. It starts crisp and upbeat, then settles into a calm, familiar rhythm that instantly signals movement and anticipation. For viewers, it creates a Pavlovian sense of arrival: something is pulling in, doors are about to open, the journey is starting. It feels orderly and nostalgic at once, which is why it works so well as a transition cue in videos about commuting, travel and city life.
