Frequently asked questions

What makes a Tesla lock sound feel "nostalgic"?

A nostalgic chime pulls a specific memory: an 8-bit coin grab, a dial-up handshake, the first three notes of a TV theme. Reach for one when you want the lock to feel like a time machine to whoever recognizes it.

Are these files in the right format for Tesla?

Yes. Every file on Tesla Lock Sound is pre-encoded to the recommended spec: WAV, 44.1 kHz, 16-bit PCM, 1–5 seconds, volume-normalized, under 1 MB, named LockChime.wav. No conversion needed.

How do I install one of these on my Tesla?

Download the WAV, drop it on a FAT32 or exFAT USB drive at Boombox/LockChime.wav, plug into a USB port that carries data (the glovebox port on newer cars), and open Toybox → Boombox → Lock Sound, then choose USB. The full step-by-step guide is at /guide (with model-specific pages for Model 3, Y, S, X, and Cybertruck).

Will these work on my Tesla?

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. Check first: does Toybox → Boombox → Lock Sound exist in your car?
