The iconic theme of the Galactic Empire. Every time you lock your Tesla, feel the power of the Dark Side. This instantly recognizable melody makes a bold statement.
The memorable response from the B1 battle droids. A fun, quirky choice that Star Wars fans will instantly recognize and appreciate.
That complex, mechanical transformation sequence sound. Bold, attention-grabbing, and perfect for the Cybertruck aesthetic. See the full Transformers Tesla lock sound guide for model-specific tips and install instructions.
The futuristic, electronic theme from the Spider-Verse. Modern, stylish, and absolutely fitting for a Tesla's sci-fi vibe.
Another iconic sound from the Spider-Verse featuring Miguel O'Hara. Combines superhero energy with futuristic aesthetics.
The haunting grandfather clock chime that signals Vecna's presence. Eerie, memorable, and perfect for horror fans.
An atmospheric, otherworldly sound that captures the essence of the Upside Down. Subtle but unmistakably Stranger Things.
The beloved song that became iconic in Stranger Things Season 3. Nostalgic, emotional, and a perfect conversation starter.

Consider these factors when selecting your sound:
If you want an even deeper sci-fi audio experience, Tesla's hidden Tron Mode Easter egg replaces your lock, turn signal, and startup sounds with Tron-inspired electronic audio. You don't need to enable the Easter egg — you can get those same Tron-style sounds as a custom lock chime. See how Tron Mode sounds work on Tesla → · Browse all Tron Mode sounds →
Short duration (1-3 seconds), a distinct opening hit that's immediately recognizable, and enough volume to carry across a parking lot. Sounds with a sharp attack — like the Imperial March opening brass notes or the Transformers transformation click — work better than sounds that take a second to "arrive." Choose something you'll want to hear twice a day, every day.
No. Playing a sound from your personal car speakers as a lock chime is personal, non-commercial use — the same as a ringtone. You're not distributing or selling the sound. All sounds in our library are curated for personal Tesla use under fair use principles.
Imperial March has been a top-10 sound since we launched. Transformers Transforming is especially popular on Cybertruck owners specifically (it's the obvious choice). Stranger Things Vecna Clock gets the most "what is that?" reactions at gas stations.
Yes — WAV format at 44.1kHz, 16-bit PCM works on every Tesla model that supports custom lock sounds (Model 3, Y, S, X, Cybertruck). The sounds play through external speakers, so they work the same way on all supported models. The Cybertruck's speakers are notably louder and more bass-capable, which makes sounds like Transformers or Imperial March sound especially good.
Under 3 seconds for lock sounds you'll hear frequently. The Imperial March and Transformers sounds in our library are trimmed to their most recognizable opening moments — you get immediate recognition without a long clip playing every time you lock your car. Sounds over 5 seconds become annoying quickly.
All of these sounds are available in our Tesla lock sound library. Browse our Movies & TV category to find them quickly. Want just Star Wars?
