Where you hear it

auctionwindowopen.ogg greets you every time an auctioneer's window opens. Goblin auctioneers have run the trade halls since launch, and the sound has stayed with the window through every redesign of the Auction House interface. Gold makers who scan prices several times a day hear it constantly, more than almost any other window sound. The tone has a pleasant, slightly expectant quality, which suits a marketplace. That association with money is why sellers use it for sale and payment alerts.

Ringtone

Auction House Open runs 2.2 seconds, enough for one full play before most people pick up, and it loops back cleanly.

Notification sound

Over a text, a two-second tone gold makers already associate with money registers instantly and is hard to confuse with a stock phone chime.

On a soundboard the 2.2-second Auction House Open clip lands and finishes before anyone has to stop talking.
