About the iPhone Notification sound

Three notes, descending, and every phone in the room gets checked. Apple's tri-tone alert has served as the default text tone since the early iPhone era, which has made it one of the most thoroughly conditioned reflexes in modern life. People reach for a pocket before they have consciously registered hearing anything. Editors use it to signal an incoming message without ever showing a screen; everyone else uses it as a social experiment. Play it in a quiet carriage, a lecture theatre or an open-plan office and count the heads that snap downwards. The apex predator of prank sounds.

OriginApple's default alert tone; the most reflexively recognized sound in modern life.
