Where you hear it
The achievement sound arrived with the achievement system in Wrath of the Lich King. It plays as the golden banner slides up and the guild chat line announces your feat. Oddly, the file lives in sound/spells/ and is named achievmentsound1.ogg, keeping a developer typo. That location and spelling is why many searches for 'achievement' fail to find it. Its five-second shimmer makes a good reward tone.
