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 Netflix original content intro sound, created by sound designer Lon Bender in 2015. The two-note "ta-dum" was developed on the direction of Netflix VP of Product Innovation Todd Yellin.
