What sound should a wallet / nostr client make when it receives sats? 210k sat bounty for the best one, as determined by the nostr hive mind!

It should be something really specific, to distinguish from all the usual beeps...because you're getting money. But at the same time gentle enough so that it doesn't start annoying you. This leads me to nature sounds. I'm drawn towards fire as it's not as piercing as electricity sounds. https://artlist.io/sfx/track/105970/torch-bearer---short-fire-whoosh-with-light-crackle Alternatively if something more electric ⚡ then short, toned-down, mellow version of this: https://www.pond5.com/sound-effects/item/160272838-electricity-current-zaps
Since 'Sound Money' phrase came from the test of Gold's authenticity by listening to the sound a dropped/pinged gold coin makes - it'd make a perfect homage to the OG sound money. Gold is still the best physical money (since 5000 years) and that sound has a PoW history that cannot be replicated.
What about a function whare you can ad your own favorite sounds? Than you can ad cool stuff like a pew pew sound or a recording christine lagarde last breath 🍻😎
It should make honey badger sound. Look at him. He's saying Zap Zap!

The "ka_ching" sound, the sound of sound_money
I’m using lightning tip bot as my receiving wallet so it already has mitigations because of telegram. I just set a custom notification for that thread in telegram. - To setup the wallet go to https://LN.tips . By default your LN address is <telegram username>@ln.tips - Open the thread with the bot in telegram and tap the little profile pic in the top corner - Select Mute > Customize (see screenshot) and then you can upload a custom sound on the next page. - zedge.net has free ringtones for download: image

The sound of thunder? Extremely individual?😂
It would be like ear piercing high pitch. But once it gets to 10M zap ⚡️ it would be silent 🤫 like a dog whistle, so high pitched lol
Haha yeah, maybe something ultrasound then. But wait, humans can’t hear it! That’s why eth’s ultrasound money marketing campaign flopped ☝🏻

It could even be the first 30 seconds of Narcos - Timmy Trumpet It doesn’t have to be a quick one. Embrace every second of the notification. Glorious.
If telegram is the open active app it will only play the in-app notification sound. Not sure if that can be customized. Did you try it with telegram closed?
User customizable zaptones. Just say no to centralized devs dictating your zaptones!

Ich finde Variationen hiervon gut. Da es micropayments sind, finde ich kleine leise sounds passender als laute.

Für größere Mengen sats (ab einem Schwellenwert) könnte man dann den sound eines elektrischen Funkens vergrößern.

Den sound von Elektrizität bzw. elektrischer Funken finde ich auf jeden Fall passend, da er implizit die Energieeigenschaft (Arbeit, Zeit, Leistung) von bitcoin bzw. lightning unterstreicht. Ich zappe dich => ich lade dich auf.

Well, of course a coin sound (sound money like gold coins in the good old Roman times). So a modified version of the Mario coin sound. A little pitched down version of this:
Please listen to this, it’s the sound I would like to hear when you zap me the bounty.
I think we have a winner here.👇 That’s the sound I want to hear when you’ll zap me the bounty.
Sound like a bug zapper, and can adjust the length and quantity based on amount of the zap
