Where These Sounds Come From

Most musical sounds in the library are short clips of existing recordings and themes: Handel, Chopin, M83, Michael Jackson, Gerry Rafferty. The library collects third-party clips and offers them for personal use in your own car. It does not claim them as original work. See the DMCA policy if you hold the rights to a clip and want it removed.

A few things to know before you pick one:

Several clips run past the 1 to 5 second range we recommend for lock sounds. Trim them with the trimmer first.
The duration is listed on each sound's page, so check it before you download.
A clip with a clear ending feels finished when it plays. A clip cut mid-phrase doesn't.

FAQ

What makes a musical sound good as a Tesla lock chime versus annoying?

The best musical lock sounds have a quick, satisfying resolution: a complete musical idea in 1–2 seconds. A short guitar riff, a bell melody, or a single choir swell all work because they feel finished. Avoid sounds that feel like they were cut off mid-phrase, or looping textures that don't have a natural endpoint.

Will a bass drop sound good on Tesla's external speakers?

The external speaker is small, so very deep bass may not come through; preview bass-heavy sounds before you commit. If you want a bass-forward pick, Bass Drop is 3.3 seconds and is the one to try first.

Are the musical sounds original compositions?

No. Most of the sounds in our Music category are short clips of existing songs and themes. The library gathers third-party clips and offers them for personal use in your own car, and the DMCA policy explains how a rights holder can ask for a removal.

How do I match my musical lock sound to my car?

Pick for the mood you want. For something sophisticated: Hallelujah, the Pink Panther theme, a trimmed Chopin phrase. For short and upbeat: the Bad to the Bone riff. For heavy: Bass Drop. Browse by category in our sounds library and filter by mood.

Can I use a clip from a copyrighted song as my personal lock sound?

The library's clips are offered for personal use in your own car. For a clip that isn't in the library, use our audio converter to prepare your own file. Either way, the file has to be a WAV named LockChime.wav.
