The Steam startup sound, a short electronic chime heard when Valve's PC gaming platform launches. Creators use it for gaming intros, setup videos and memes.

The Steam startup sound is the brief electronic jingle that plays as the Steam client opens on a PC, lasting just a few seconds. It begins with a soft, rising synth tone that feels clean and futuristic, then settles into a short melodic chime that signals the platform is ready. For gamers, it instantly triggers recognition, nostalgia and anticipation, like the opening note before a long play session. Even out of context, it sounds polished and techy, which is why it works so well as a quick audio cue for anything gaming, computer or internet related.

Steam is Valve's PC gaming platform, first launched in 2003 as a way to deliver and update games digitally, and it has since grown into one of the largest storefronts for PC players. The startup sound became familiar to millions of users who heard it every time they opened the client to browse, download or launch a game. As gaming content spread on YouTube, Twitch and TikTok, creators began reusing the chime outside the app as instant shorthand for starting a session, showing a desktop or joking about a backlog, keeping it recognisable well beyond Steam itself.
