One of the streamers I watch has it as a gag alert and he likes to mess with his chat.

Honestly I sometimes hear it, and my laptop's not even on.

ptsd noises

OMFG 😂

Pavlovian priming at its finest. "Heckssake who's calling me at... eight PM, never mind, must be the TV then"

You mean the Skype ringtone?

I am the same way with the Slack “tick tick tick” notification in their commercials.

Damn, beat me to it

Work Related Pavlovian Trauma.

Anyone who calls me on teams can send me an email like a civilized fucking human and I’ll respond when I’m good and ready.

Or a teams message.

I've probably done something correctly in my life since I can't say I even know what that sounds like. I think I've done one video call ever when I was getting my permit for hot work. I don't remember what app I used for that.

I like how they call it teams.

not even kidding when I say this, I would stop watching that streamer

PSA: Never, NEVER, use your favourite song or sound as your ringtone or message sound, especially if your employer has your phone number. It destroyed "Bob Marley-Three Little Birds" and that "Metal Gear - you've been discovered" for me.

Phone alarms too, especially when the character takes a long time to wake up to turn it off.

Also, sirens on songs when listening in the car.

Related: did you know that the Outlook calendar notification sound is based on one of the developer's kids singing "time to get up!" to them in the morning.

To be clear: I don't condone violence towards children, but if a kid did that to me it would trigger my fight-or-flight response.

You used to call me on my Skype mouse

You can set your horn in Forza Horizon 5 and 6 to be this during multiplayer races, and you can honk it and see in real-time as you cause other racers' brains to instantly freak out.

Devious that they added it.
