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.

Alternatively if something more electric ⚡ then short, toned-down, mellow version of this:

This one?
Sound of a whip
Pew pew pew!
Imagine you get 10 zaps in a row in public 😂
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.
Here comes the Money - Shane McMahon
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 🍻😎
That's how we're going to get the gold bugs!
It's-a-me!
😂👌
Why not 😂
Make sure to set the volume to 11 before you go to sleep ⚡
Classic!
No lies detected.
Zap sound from Dota 2 when Zeus uses his skill. I think that would be awesome to zap with this sound😂
Brings back memories of Diablo 2!
Oh, the nostalgia!
THUNDA !!!
Stop it with the gaming nostalgia! 😭🥰
jfc 🤣
I'd use it 😂
"idk just a concept" 😂🤣🤣🤣

Any zap over 1000k =....
Chain lightning
Eminem rapping! You’ve been Zap! Amd a small powerful beat.
GM!


It should make honey badger sound. Look at him. He's saying Zap Zap!
Obviously
5D Chess 😅
Report me with the nostr ceo for toxic masculinity
Mario coin sound.
Luigi coin sound 😂
Has to be:
short
neutral (not funny, not serious)
electric/cyber
Smth like this

😂😂😂😂
The first 3 seconds of this clip
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:

It is perfect, is just like a complete circle ⭕️
You're a man of culture I see!
Hard no 😂
Indeed
Super Mario Bros 2 coin sound.
Butt clap
Who in their right mind has anything more than vibration on? But IF then CACHIIING!
Congrats! You're one zap away from slavery, one zap towards Bitcoin.
Damn it man, I’ve done all that! Whats that sound? How do I find it on Zedge?


The price is right theme song.
The sound of one hand clapping
Well thunder of course
God damnit allen
Related question: what's the sound of Bitcoin?
The sound of Windows is this, for example:
#[0]
This smells of fiat 🧐
Very Zen 😅
nostr build should work, though 🤔
A snort as if doing a line of cocaine
“Hummus”
#[2]
"Stick it in thank you good night" 😂
If I upload it as a video (mp4) it works. Hereby:

Obviously the Mario catching Coins sound
I found the perfect sound. NES Zapper
Saifedean giggling saying “Have fun staying poor”

A 1-second sound with one amplitude per sat. I.e. a 21 sat zap gives a very low hum, an 4369 sat zap outputs a high pitched beep. No samples required and rough amount immediately clear.
White noise
The sound of thunder? Extremely individual?😂
I created this. Can adjust / alter or create other versions:
That was what I was about to write too, would use it, sounds legit. :D
Oh haha sorry. Here’s 2 links. The original sound had 2 blasts so I trimmed it down to just one.
Here’s the trimmed version:
Here’s the original:

ASMR of yellow saying "Cordanoh"
I like it! 🔊🔉🔈🔉🔊
How would this work with a 1M zap? 👀
All dogs go nuts 🐶 🐩 🐕
Bats all over the place 🦇
Ok zap me ⚡️
Actual sampled nostrich sounds. With big zaps being alpha-nostriches
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
Here's my submission
Zapped ⚡️
😮 went to WoS still. Is my profile not updated with ln.tips?
Let me restart my app. Maybe it caches that on my end somehow?
Just tried it again
Haha yeah, maybe something ultrasound then.
But wait, humans can’t hear it! That’s why eth’s ultrasound money marketing campaign flopped ☝🏻
Real chirping, yes!
For 69 sats then the ostrich mating sound, obviously
Has to be a trumpet. 🎺
Tommy Trumpet
Lightsaber sfx
Bitconneeeeectttt
Or "HEY HEY HEY"
Saylor saying "it's going up forever Laura"
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.
As an 8-bit pixel game. Say the word and I’ll design it.
Star Wars hyperspace sound effect
czzzp!
Received thanks and I tried a few times to myself, received in ln.tips now but no zap sound. Will update OS this evening and try again
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?
Hadouken!


thundr crashing
User customizable zaptones. Just say no to centralized devs dictating your zaptones!
Money for nothing! 🎸
Ostrich squawk.
Zaps will likely get smaller over time. We could also have a frequency limit and increase the duration of the sound, once the limit is reached.
Boom
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.
ZZEEERRRP
I really like the one at 24 seconds in "electrical shock zap"
No clear winner, so will spray some sats randomly 💦
#[0]
Make each with the sound the pleb suggests ✌️⚡️🤣
Mario coin
Ding dong
The sound of thunder clap 🌩️, naturally as one might expect after a lightning (zap) strike.
Frankie saying Bitcoin obviously
eat ze bugsss
The sound of electrifying wires.
R2D2 sound
it should make the sound of uncorking a good bottle of beer
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:
I think it should sound something like 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.
4 fast bips pitching up..
I’m particularly fond of the sound of collecting rupees in Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Sound like a bug zapper, and can adjust the length and quantity based on amount of the zap
Thank you, sir. Those sats are holy. I will keep them in a special wallet. Bye bye, fungibility 😆
If the received amount equals to 21, 210, 2100, 21000,… it should be this one IMHO
Thank you 🎩
thx 🙏
Thank you for the sats.
Sound of a spark, a sound that if you where to describe it, you'd say "sounds like zapp" 😃
