The Switch's 'click' is this generation's 'iPhone lock noise' - a supremely slick soundbite that immediately makes you think of the product, mostly thanks to appearing in the console's marketing at every turn.

But where is it on the system?

It would've made perfect sense for Nintendo to engineer a way for the Joy-Cons to make the noise physically whenever you slot them into the controller grip, but to get the exact noise from the system's various adverts, you need to slot the Joy-Cons onto the side of the tablet, after it's been turned on and is running a game.

Doing this while playing gives a white 'burst' effect to the side of the screen as the Joy-Cons lock in place, accompanied by - finally! - the Switch's 'switch' noise.

Perfect.
