The sound-texture of my adulthood is desktop and mobile notifications from Slack. [0] and [1] (first sound).
There is some perverse ad that incorporates a subtle version of the first sound from [1] into its jingle, and I stiffen up every time I hear it. Also, Slack TV commercials incorporate [0], and many complain about it on Twitter and elsewhere, it's a "traumatizing" sound.
