Solved: An iOS Voice Over sound that may be new?

iOS and iPadOS

I just noticed something. When I perform a gesture that is undefined, my iPhone makes a ping sound. It happens more after I reset all the gestures, getting rid of some of the ones I defined.
I think this may have started after I updated to one of the 17.X versions of iOS. Did I just never notice this, and it's been that way for ages?

I know this sound

This sound is called unknown command. It usually occurs when you make a gesture that does not apply in some situation or that does not exist

Got it

Thanks, Ricardo Brandão. I guess I just never did a gesture that wasn't defined, until the other day.

Is it a piano key in the letter E?

If so, it's the same sound on Mac if you just do something it doesn't like. It's a crossover I guess.

Thanks

Ya, that's what it kind of sounds like, but more like a fake piano note, or just a quick , stopped note on a Kalimba. I don't have perfect pitch, but it is a high-pitched E in comparison to a tuning fork I have sitting here.

Yep, Mac OS has had this…

Yep, Mac OS has had this sound for a number of years now. If your in an app with no windows open and try to navigate, you'll here it.

Thanks

I think that covers the question.
