iPhone-Style Radial Alert (pulsing digital notification tone): Free Tesla Lock Sound Download

A rippling, radar-like ping close enough to your iPhone's default alert to make you check your pocket: a futuristic note every time you lock up.

Music sound · 11.59 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.
