Each file downloads as LockChime.wav, 44.1 kHz / 16-bit WAV, Tesla-ready. No conversion. No renaming.
What is a LockChime?
Tesla's Boombox feature lets you replace the factory lock chime with any WAV file. The Tesla LockChime file (sometimes searched as "tesla lockchime" or "lockchime tesla") works the same way on every supported model: the car reads from a specific path on your USB drive: Boombox/LockChime.wav. It plays that file through the external pedestrian-warning speaker every time you lock. The filename must be exact. The folder must be exact. Get either wrong and you get the stock sound.
Every sound in this library downloads with the correct name and format already set, so there's nothing to convert or rename. The feature has been available since Tesla's 2023 Holiday Update (software 2023.44) and works on all current models with an external speaker.
Common questions
What is a LockChime file?
LockChime.wav is the exact filename Tesla looks for on a USB drive to play a custom lock sound. When you lock the car, Tesla checks the connected USB for Boombox/LockChime.wav and plays it instead of the factory chime.
Where does the file go on the USB drive?
Create a folder named Boombox at the root of your USB drive, then place LockChime.wav inside it. The full path is Boombox/LockChime.wav (no Locked/ subfolder, nothing in between).
Do the downloads need any conversion?
No. Every file in this library downloads already named LockChime.wav and formatted to 44.1 kHz / 16-bit WAV. Drop it into the Boombox folder and it plays immediately.
Which Teslas support a custom LockChime?
Model Y (all years), Model 3 (built September 2019 or later), Model S and X (2021 refresh or later), and all Cybertrucks. The feature requires an external pedestrian-warning speaker and software 2023.44 or newer.
What audio format does LockChime.wav need to be?
The only hard requirement is a WAV file named exactly LockChime.wav; Tesla doesn't publish a stricter spec. For clean, consistent playback, this library formats every download to the widely-used best practice: 44.1 kHz sample rate, 16-bit, 1–5 seconds long, and under 1 MB.
