there must be some sort of word for "games-bleeding-into-real-life" for stuff like this.

I remember years ago playing some games, and hearing similar sounds in real life would startle (or amuse) me. And you can't really explain it to anyone around you, lol.

tetris effect! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect

Wow that article is very thought provoking!

There's an elevator in a building where I attend meetups. A staffer has to authenticate with a card in order to let you use the elevator. Once it authenticates, a chime plays that goes sol-do-mi-sol. These four notes also begin the main bit of the Super Mario Bros. 2 overworld theme which I find myself humming.

Same, I'll never look at them the same again.
