Where you hear it
kel_naxx_taunt01.ogg is one of the taunts Kel'Thuzad hurls at raiders while they clear his floating necropolis. The 'kel_naxx' prefix marks the original 40-player Naxxramas from patch 1.11, which few guilds ever completed before The Burning Crusade launched. The lich, once a mage of Dalaran and founder of the Cult of the Damned, serves the Lich King. His cold, echoing voice gives these taunts a sense of being watched. The recording runs almost ten seconds.
TriggerOne of Kel'Thuzad's taunts, heard as raiders progress through the original Naxxramas.

Notification sound
Over a text, a ten-second cold taunt is unmistakable, though at 9.8 seconds it is best saved for the alerts that matter.
Discord soundboard
The full Kel'Thuzad Taunt clip runs 9.8 seconds, past a 5.2-second soundboard slot, so cut the most recognisable part.
