“transaction success” sound at POS systems, which, as a gamer, is confusing because hearing that sound in Sonic isn’t that of success.
But it sure is a perfect sound for what is happening, you just lost your rings, you broke.

Generic sound effects are one of the most commonly used public domain items, so it’s really common to hear the exact same sound in a lot of different media.

It really fucks with my head when I hear sonic rings come from a gas station cash register…
99 cent stores had the ICQ “uh oh!” when a product didn’t ring up. That was awesome!
I was at a gas station while traveling when I first heard the Sonic sound. I was looking around everywhere trying to figure out where it was coming from and if I had possibly gone insane.
