The short electronic beep heard when a PlayStation 5 powers on, a clean startup chime used in gaming videos, streams and memes about starting a console session.

This is the brief, clean electronic beep that plays when a PlayStation 5 is switched on. It is short and crisp, with a smooth digital tone that rises just enough to signal the console waking up, followed by a quiet sense of readiness as the system loads. There is no voice, music, or background noise, just that single recognisable startup signal. For viewers, it instantly sets a gaming mood, suggesting a session is about to begin, a stream is going live, or a player is settling in for a game.

The beep comes from the PlayStation 5, Sony's home gaming console, where it plays as the system powers on and prepares its home screen. Short clips of console sounds circulate widely among gamers, who save them for intros, edits, and jokes about starting a session. Like a GTA V notification, it works because players recognise it instantly without any explanation. Its brevity makes it easy to drop into videos, and its association with a familiar gaming ritual keeps it useful long after the console became a common sight in living rooms.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place the beep at the exact moment a console, game, or stream appears on screen, then cut straight to gameplay so the startup cue feels like a transition. Keep it at full volume once, avoid looping it, and do not layer dialogue over its tail.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Opening a gaming video with a console powering on.
  • Announcing the start of a livestream or gameplay session.
  • Cutting to a reaction after turning on a console.
  • Poking fun at waiting for a game to load.
