Apple iPhone Lock (iconic click tone): Free Tesla Lock Sound Download

The unmistakable iPhone lock click: the satisfying "tk-tk" that Apple users hear a thousand times a day without noticing.

Retro Tech sound · 0.46 seconds · WAV format · Free download

Custom lock sounds need the car’s external pedestrian-warning speaker (Model 3 built September 2019 or later, Model S and Model X from the 2021 refresh, every Model Y and Cybertruck) and software 2023.44 or later.

How to install: download the file (it is already named LockChime.wav), copy it to Boombox/LockChime.wav on a FAT32 or exFAT USB drive, plug it into a USB port that carries data (the glovebox port on newer cars; rear ports only charge), and open Toybox → Boombox → Lock Sound, then choose USB.

source iPhone lock screen sound (Apple Inc., iOS). Part of Apple's carefully curated device sound palette — reportedly designed to feel "satisfying without being intrusive." Use case: familiar comfort of locking your other favorite premium device. Trivia: Apple's sound design philosophy was articulated by Steve Jobs as sounds that "disappear after use" — the lock tone is so familiar it registers subconsciously rather than consciously for most iPhone users.
