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 Portal (Valve Corporation, 2007). Aperture Science Sentry Turrets voiced by Ellen McLain (who also voices GLaDOS). Their "Hello, friend" / "I see you" lines while armed became beloved gaming moments. Use case: your Model Y just passed the Turing test. Transcript: "Hello, friend." / "Are you still there?" Trivia: Ellen McLain's turret voice was specifically designed to be polite and childlike to maximize the horror contrast of them immediately opening fire; Valve composer Mike Morasky wrote the turret's operatic "Cara Mia Addio" aria in Portal 2.
