Download the 'Achievement Unlocked' sound

After posting the Agility Orb sound effect a couple of weeks ago, I was deluged with requests to post the ‘Achievement Unlocked’ sound that has been heard about 300 Billion times on Xbox 360 consoles around the world. For most gamers, this sound causes an increase in heart rate and a Pavlovian reaction that causes them to tap the Xbox 360 button to find out what achievement was unlocked and how many points were added to their Gamerscore.

woof.

Like last time, I have posted two versions of the same file. Right click and choose ‘Save as’ (or something similar) to save this to your local computer. Grab the flavor that suits you the best:

Achievement Unlocked sound (MP3)

Achievement Unlocked sound (WMA)

This is straight from the source file with no background noise.

I know that you’ll use it for a ring tone, but what are some of the other creative ways you plan to use this?

Edit: This is for non-commercial, personal use only!

Major are you giving us permission to use this in any way we want?

I would like to use this as part of my XBMC Skin MC360, is that possible?

I love hearing that sound. Almost as cool as the opening sound for Halo 2.

Not as useful as the Agility Orb sound, but awesome non the less.
