About this sound

✦ AI

A short Samsung TV sound effect with the familiar television startup chime, used in videos and memes to signal a TV turning on or a quick scene change.

This is a very short Samsung TV sound, lasting just over a second, built around a clean, bright electronic chime that rises gently and then settles. It sounds like the moment a television wakes up, polished and familiar rather than loud or dramatic, which is why it works so well as a quick audio cue. Played on its own it instantly suggests a screen switching on, a living room, or a broadcast beginning, and in an edit it can reset attention in a fraction of a second without breaking the flow of a scene.

Samsung televisions are common in homes around the world, so their startup sound is widely recognised even outside any single show or meme. Short clips like this one circulate on soundboards and in short-form video because they act as instant shorthand for watching TV, without needing dialogue or explanation. Creators reuse it for parodies, reaction edits and scene transitions, and its brevity keeps it useful as a quick punctuation mark rather than a musical excerpt.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop it exactly on the cut to a television screen or a fake news segment, and let it play clean without music underneath so the chime stays recognisable. Do not loop it or layer it over dialogue, as repetition dulls its switch-on effect.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Opening a parody news broadcast or TV segment.
  • Signalling a character turning on the television.
  • Transitioning between scenes in a comedy sketch.
  • Punching up a reaction video intro moment.
