Where you hear it

This is the interface half of the level-up moment, the bright chord that lands with the 'You have reached level N' message. It plays for the levelling character only, while the column of golden light around them carries its own spell sound for anyone nearby. The file has sat at sound/interface/levelup.ogg since the 2004 client, and both Classic Era and the modern game still call it. Because levelling is the spine of the whole game, a player who reached the cap on several characters has heard it hundreds of times. That repetition is why it became shorthand for any personal milestone outside the game.

TriggerFires on the PLAYER_LEVEL_UP event the instant your character gains a level.

Use it as

Ringtone

Level Up runs 4.4 seconds, enough for one full play before most people pick up, and it loops back cleanly.

Notification sound

Over a text, a bright four-second chord with no voice in it registers instantly and is hard to confuse with a stock phone chime.

Discord soundboard

On a soundboard the 4.4-second Level Up clip lands and finishes before anyone has to stop talking.

Alarm

As an alarm, Level Up (mastered near -14.6 LUFS) was built to be heard over game audio, and it loops without a gap until you are up.
