I like the Star-Trek-esque beedeebeeboop as a chat notification on http://chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/ far more so than the fart/raspberry noise that https://chat.stackexchange.com/ uses. It is much more audible over my music and occasional gastric distress.

Can StackExchange just rip off MSO (or either of the SU/SF sounds Mike linked)?

    +1, but isn't it rather a beedeeboop? (leaving to check)

  • It seems like a stretch to call the chat.SE notification a "fart"...

    Chat.SE's ping sound is the only thing in the Stack Exchange network that reminds me of Windows 3.1...

For reference, chat.SE versus chat.MSO. The ones from chat.SU and chat.SF are still available from when those existed as well -- personally I like chat.SF the most, then chat.SU, then chat.SE. chat.MSO's is too long

  • Thanks for this. Conclusion: I think it's more a beedeebooboop.

    The links are dead. Welp, cannot understand what they meant by beedeebooboop...
