comment
A series of sirens, bells and/or whistles heard on some game shows whenever a contestant has won big (at the Bonus Round, generally). These are sometimes accompanied by a Confetti Drop, although they have mysteriously been averted by the current big-money shows such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and its clones.
Possibly a Sub-Trope of Most Wonderful Sound. Contrast with Losing Horns, which you often hear if you don't win big.

The $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime: In its first season, million dollar wins were accompanied by sirens, klaxons, and horns honking, not to mention the on-set hysterics. And fireworks shot out of the set. The pilot had a marching band.

The Big Spin, which was originally a Mark Goodson production (later headed by his son), also re-used this specimen for big wins.

The New Treasure Hunt: Shrill sirens were played if the grand prize check was won on both Edwards versions. Also inverted, as the same sirens were toned down and used as Losing Horns if the contestant passed up the check.

$100,000 wins on Tom Kennedy's version of Name That Tune were accompanied by every single type of siren imaginable.
