What sound should a wallet / nostr client make when it receives sats?
210k sat bounty for the best one, as determined by the nostr hive mind!

a horrendous thunder from a large lightning flash. scarey enough to make a dog pee on the carpet. or not.
Or sound like a an electrical charge. Followed by coins tumbling
Sound of a nostrich laying an egg, obviously
The sound of a laser sweep taking of

Katsching (sword), or obviously the sound of a lightning 🌩
This got stuck in my head today 😂
The exact moment:
This sound is best. ॐ
The hissing of frying when you put a piece of meat in the hot pan
ZAP! (whispered by Guy Swann)
Thunder!!!
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
A rumble of thunder, the more sats, the more bang.
there are plenty of samples here 😂
🤦🏻♂️
Napalm Death "You Suffer"
(The heavy metal riff that Guilfoyle uses for his Bitcoin mining operation on Silicon Valley)
Mario Bros coin, obviously.
A woman’s moan
🤣
They were talking about this the other day on Cafe Bitcoin. I think it would be a pretty cool idea.
😂😂😂
The bigger the zap the closer to finish line would be the moan. 1BTC full on climax with laser beams shooting from your phone and you get real cum leaking through your phone holes. But idk, just a concept 🤷🏻♂️
…or a sound bite of a slap to the face 👋😂…
The cha-Ching or similar sound from the intro to Money by Pink Floyd
It shouldn't be a sound but a vibrating simulation of a lightning ⚡️ that strikes abruptly
Unreal Tournament:
Zap
Double Zap
Multi Zap
Ultra Zap
M-M-M Monster Zap
Depending on zap size!
Yes.
An electrical lightningsound ⚡️!
The bigger the zap, the louder the sound 🤙
Lazer Zap or something similar *pew*

That sound when mosquitoes flies into the mosquitoe zappy thing.
This Is just perfect 👇
Another Goldie:
Oh, the nostalgia!
⚠️I found the perfect sound notification for a zap! ⚡⚠️

It should be something really specific, to distinguish from all the usual beeps...because you're getting money.
But at the same time gentle enough so that it doesn't start annoying you.
This leads me to nature sounds. I'm drawn towards fire as it's not as piercing as electricity sounds.

Alternatively if something more electric ⚡ then short, toned-down, mellow version of this:

Ideally no sound.
Sats are best received quietly and privately.

No lies detected.
Classic!
Sound of a whip
Pew pew pew! https://youtu.be/xESuEL2_304?t=19
This specific cadence of lightning striking
The sound of an ostrich (“Nostrich”) call: hoot
Since 'Sound Money' phrase came from the test of Gold's authenticity by listening to the sound a dropped/pinged gold coin makes - it'd make a perfect homage to the OG sound money.
https://youtube.com/shorts/k0kxeyemJBg?feature=shares
Gold is still the best physical money (since 5000 years) and that sound has a PoW history that cannot be replicated.
Here comes the Money - Shane McMahon
What about a function whare you can ad your own favorite sounds? Than you can ad cool stuff like a pew pew sound or a recording christine lagarde last breath 🍻😎
Zap sound from Dota 2 when Zeus uses his skill. I think that would be awesome to zap with this sound😂
Bug zapper
THUNDA !!!
Maybe something like this 🤷🏽♀️
https://www.videvo.net/sound-effect/zaps-big-laser-zap-4/452141/
I still like the sound of a 19th century till - balim! Kling kling!
Chain lightning
Eminem rapping! You’ve been Zap! Amd a small powerful beat.
Obviously
Loud crack of thunder. We are storm that will end the central banks.
What sound does a dying central bank make?
The famous „BIIIIIIIIIIIITCOOOOIIIIN!“ shout.
The sound of an old camera flash bulb popping.
ICQ sound
Electricity arc a la mad scientist’s lab “zeeoump”
Has to be:
short
neutral (not funny, not serious)
electric/cyber
Smth like this
Yellow saying “wat”
There's a lot of buzz around your post.

Why just one sound? Get a few classics in there: stay humble stack sats by #[2], there is no 2nd best by #[3], fuck you Greg by #[4], etc
The first 3 seconds of this clip
This is the sound mine makes
Where’s the guide to make this my zap notification sound?
I’m using lightning tip bot as my receiving wallet so it already has mitigations because of telegram. I just set a custom notification for that thread in telegram.
- To setup the wallet go to https://LN.tips . By default your LN address is
- Open the thread with the bot in telegram and tap the little profile pic in the top corner
- Select Mute > Customize (see screenshot) and then you can upload a custom sound on the next page.
- zedge.net has free ringtones for download: https://www.zedge.net/ringtones

*notifications, not mitigations
Damn it man, I’ve done all that! Whats that sound? How do I find it on Zedge?

Oh haha sorry. Here’s 2 links. The original sound had 2 blasts so I trimmed it down to just one.
Here’s the trimmed version:

Here’s the original:

Ok zap me ⚡️
Zapped ⚡️
😮 went to WoS still. Is my profile not updated with ln.tips?
Let me restart my app. Maybe it caches that on my end somehow?
Just tried it again
Received thanks and I tried a few times to myself, received in ln.tips now but no zap sound. Will update OS this evening and try again
If telegram is the open active app it will only play the in-app notification sound. Not sure if that can be customized. Did you try it with telegram closed?
I’ve designed a sound. Where can I upload sounds? Nostr.build doesn’t work and I don’t want to use the legacy stuff
nostr build should work, though 🤔
If I upload it as a video (mp4) it works. Hereby:
But of course this one, sats are the new law and order 😊:
The "ka_ching" sound, the sound of sound_money
BOOM! SURPRISE you got sent money!
Mario coin sound
This one is another strong contender:
https://www.zedge.net/ringtone/afc73c15-280d-3771-aeac-9f407770a49b
Super Mario Bros 2 coin sound.
Butt clap
Who in their right mind has anything more than vibration on? But IF then CACHIIING!
Congrats! You're one zap away from slavery, one zap towards Bitcoin.
The price is right theme song.
Well thunder of course
God damnit allen
Related question: what's the sound of Bitcoin?
The sound of Windows is this, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nQ2oiVqKHw

I found the perfect sound. NES Zapper
Saifedean giggling saying “Have fun staying poor”
White noise
A snort as if doing a line of cocaine
Obviously the Mario catching Coins sound
A 1-second sound with one amplitude per sat. I.e. a 21 sat zap gives a very low hum, an 4369 sat zap outputs a high pitched beep. No samples required and rough amount immediately clear.
I like it! 🔊🔉🔈🔉🔊
Thank you, sir. Those sats are holy. I will keep them in a special wallet. Bye bye, fungibility 😆
How would this work with a 1M zap? 👀
It would be like ear piercing high pitch. But once it gets to 10M zap ⚡️ it would be silent 🤫 like a dog whistle, so high pitched lol
Zaps will likely get smaller over time. We could also have a frequency limit and increase the duration of the sound, once the limit is reached.
The sound of thunder? Extremely individual?😂
I created this. Can adjust / alter or create other versions:
Actual sampled nostrich sounds. With big zaps being alpha-nostriches
Real chirping, yes!
For 69 sats then the ostrich mating sound, obviously
Here's my submission
Has to be a trumpet. 🎺
Tommy Trumpet
It could even be the first 30 seconds of Narcos - Timmy Trumpet
It doesn’t have to be a quick one. Embrace every second of the notification.
Glorious.
Saylor saying "it's going up forever Laura"
Star Wars hyperspace sound effect
czzzp!
thundr crashing
Ostrich squawk.
Ich finde Variationen hiervon gut. Da es micropayments sind, finde ich kleine leise sounds passender als laute.
Für größere Mengen sats (ab einem Schwellenwert) könnte man dann den sound eines elektrischen Funkens vergrößern.
Den sound von Elektrizität bzw. elektrischer Funken finde ich auf jeden Fall passend, da er implizit die Energieeigenschaft (Arbeit, Zeit, Leistung) von bitcoin bzw. lightning unterstreicht. Ich zappe dich => ich lade dich auf.
I really like the one at 24 seconds in "electrical shock zap"
No clear winner, so will spray some sats randomly 💦
#[0]
Make each with the sound the pleb suggests ✌️⚡️🤣
Mario coin
I think we have a winner here.👇
That’s the sound I want to hear when you’ll zap me the bounty.
Ding dong
The sound of thunder clap 🌩️, naturally as one might expect after a lightning (zap) strike.
Frankie saying Bitcoin obviously
eat ze bugsss
The sound of electrifying wires.
it should make the sound of uncorking a good bottle of beer
Well, of course a coin sound (sound money like gold coins in the good old Roman times).
So a modified version of the Mario coin sound. A little pitched down version of this:
I think it should sound something like this.
Please listen to this, it’s the sound I would like to hear when you zap me the bounty.
4 fast bips pitching up..
I’m particularly fond of the sound of collecting rupees in Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Sound like a bug zapper, and can adjust the length and quantity based on amount of the zap
If the received amount equals to 21, 210, 2100, 21000,… it should be this one IMHO
Sound of a spark, a sound that if you where to describe it, you'd say "sounds like zapp" 😃
