Where you hear it

friendjoin.ogg tells you a friend has just entered the world. It fires for in-game character friends and shows alongside the system line announcing them. For many players it is the cue to send a quick whisper or a group invite. The sound is warm and quick, built to be noticed without stealing focus. Mapped to a phone, it is a natural contact or chat app alert.

TriggerPlays with the '[Name] has come online' system message when someone on your friends list logs in.
