À propos de ce son

The real PS4 startup sound effect from the PlayStation 4 console boot sequence, a rising electronic chime used for gaming intros and nostalgic memes.

This is the authentic startup sound heard when a PlayStation 4 powers on, beginning with a soft low hum that swells into a bright, futuristic orchestral-electronic chime. The tone builds smoothly over several seconds, creating a sense of anticipation before fading into the home screen ambience. For players who spent years with the console, the sound instantly triggers recognition and nostalgia, signaling that a game session is about to begin. Its clean, polished rise makes it satisfying on its own and unmistakable even without any visuals attached.

The PlayStation 4 launched in November 2013 as Sony's successor to the PlayStation 3, and its startup chime became part of daily gaming for millions of players throughout the console's lifespan. Unlike shorter notification sounds, the full boot sequence was heard every time the system powered on from rest, which cemented it in gaming culture. Clips labeled as the real PS4 startup circulate online to separate the authentic recording from remixes and fake versions, and the sound remains widely reused in edits, streams, and nostalgia compilations long after the PS5 release.

Conseil professionnel d'utilisation

Place the full ten-second boot at the very start of a gaming video and let it play uninterrupted over a black screen or PS4 logo fade-in. Do not trim the initial hum, as the slow build is what sells the authentic console start.

Cas d'utilisation

  • Add to gaming video intros for instant PlayStation nostalgia
  • Use as a fake console boot prank on friends
  • Drop before unboxing or reviewing a PS4 game
  • Set as a startup notification or gaming ringtone sound
