New Email Sound Effect

📝 Description

The new-email chime is the office heartbeat — a tidy notification tone that once meant excitement and now means one more thing before lunch. Few sounds carry such a clean split between eras: in the dial-up days it was an event; today it is weather. That history makes it doubly useful. Use it in work and productivity content as messages stack up, in Monday-morning edits where each chime lands like a small tax, or nostalgically in retro-internet content. A single chime is information; a rapid series is a resignation letter being drafted internally.
