    The alert sound of a USB device connecting

    Is this a Windows thing or something?

    EDIT: On Linux, if you somehow knew that some USB device had been connected, but didn’t know what, I’d run sudo journalctl -krb — I believe that the kernel will always log a message when a new device is connected. Also, lsusb -t would show the layout of the USB tree and what devices are where on it.

      KDE Plasma has a USB connected and disconnected sound, I’m sure may other mainstream DEs do too.

      On Windows, if you wanted to confirm the sound was from your computer, device manager usually flickers every time a new device is plugged in. New devices should also be logged in the Event Logs.
