🔊 Ideas wanted: new Monzo payment sounds

Alright everyone, we’d like your help with something.

Before I go much further let me be absolutely clear: we’re not promising to ship this but we’d like to if we can.

Okay that’s the disclaimer out the way.

To the question in-hand: If we made it possible to choose which payment sound you want the Monzo app to make, what sounds would you like us to introduce?

I’m talking about the sounds the Monzo app makes when you spend money or someone pays you.

Your fun answers are of course always appreciated but we’ll need at least a few that we can actually use. A healthy balance of funny and practical would be ideal.

But phone sounds should be banned. Silent only. It’s 2023!

Absolute silence.

Or, if that’s not acceptable, the entirety of C.R.E.A.M. by Wu-Tang

When receiving: the sound of a money counter, the larger the amount the longer it plays.

Apologies to those who sells a house and receives 5+ digits & it plays all day.

Are these different or is it one for both?

Are you able to use system sounds / let users upload their own?

Personally, I’d like to hear the dude from Storage Hunters who shouts “MONEY” to place his bid.

I believe they’re different but now I’m doubting myself. Pretty sure there are different sounds for incoming and outgoing transactions.

We’ve spoken about letting people upload whatever they like but I’m unsure how I feel about it. I suspect the results would range from hilarious to disastrous.

Didn’t read it that way!

We referenced polyphonic Crazy Frog in the office earlier when talking about this.

Or as a very close second:

I’d like a toilet flushing sound.

That’s where I feel all my money goes :sweat_smile:

It would be nice to have a couple of options to choose from.

For outgoing payments: “Booooooo”
For incoming payments: (1) The sound of a blessing of unicorns running wild and free in slow-motion through the waves on a desert-island beach under a rainbow (2) A fake call from The National Lottery announcing a big win.

Happy to travel & record the unicorns btw

Also happy to receive the National Lottery call too, so I can record it.

I’m happy with the system notification sounds, I don’t really like people hearing me spend money :neutral_face:
