Dingle-bling

Any of the startup and shutdown sounds or chimes that software, computers, cell phones, etc make for no particular reason other than to announce their presence, as if to say "look at me!".

The windows startup sound is a particularly annoying piece of dingle-bling. The windows shutdown sound, however, is always a welcome heard dingle-bling. Especially on Friday afternoons.
