About this sound

✦ AI

The soft electronic chime Samsung televisions play when they power down, used in edits to signal an ending, a device switching off, or a scene fading out.

This is the brief power-down chime from a Samsung television, a clean, soft electronic tone that rises and falls in just over a second before fading to silence. It sounds polished and familiar rather than dramatic, like the gentle electronic sigh a TV makes as its screen goes dark. Because almost everyone recognises that household sound, it instantly tells a viewer that something has finished, switched off, or gone quiet, making it a neat punctuation mark at the end of a joke, a failed attempt, or a scene that is meant to cut abruptly to black.

Samsung televisions have long used short electronic chimes to confirm powering on and off, replacing a simple click with a softer, branded audio cue that owners hear every day. Clips of the shutdown tone have circulated online as a standalone sound effect, separate from any show, film, or meme character. Creators reuse it because it is instantly recognisable as a television switching off, giving edits a clean, realistic ending without needing dialogue or explanation.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop it on the final frame as the picture cuts to black, with no music underneath, so the shutdown feels final. Pair it with a screen going dark, but do not loop it, since repeating the chime breaks the single switch-off illusion.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Ending a comedy sketch with a sudden black screen.
  • Showing a character giving up after a failed attempt.
  • Cutting from a bright scene to complete darkness.
  • Signalling a device or idea powering down for good.
