Original sounds dedicated under CC0
Saturalabs synthesized these three cues from sine waves without third-party recordings and dedicates the WAV files under CC0 1.0. You may copy, adapt and use these files commercially without attribution under that dedication. It applies to these three WAVs, not other media or platform-owned alert sounds.
Read the file notice and generation details and inspect the format, peak and hash measurements. Digital peak values are not a measure of loudness on a particular device.

How to use a notification sound in a project
- Preview the cues at a comfortable volume, then download a WAV and keep the original in your project folder.
- Import it into an audio or video editor and align the audible cue with the event on screen. Adjust its level against any speech or music.
- Check the beginning and tail, then listen to the exported project. A sound that is clear in isolation may be distracting or hard to hear in context.
For a shorter clip, open the saved WAV separately in the audio trimmer. To trigger cues in a browser session, add them to the free soundboard. Files are not transferred automatically, and the soundboard does not automatically route audio to calls or recordings.
These downloads are audio files; they do not change a device's notification settings. Supported formats and import steps depend on the destination, so consult its current instructions and test the result.
Find more original cues
Compare the single and double chimes or the whoosh WAVs. For an effect in a mixed recording you have permission to use, the sound effect extractor can test a text-described source. Its AI WAV downloads require an account and credits, and the output is an estimate rather than an original stem.
