Songs that sample iOS notification sounds

I'm looking for songs that sample common iOS notification sounds in order to make a fun playlist! I've noticed them in several songs and I really enjoy it when they come up, especially when they're integrated into the structure of the song. Normally I'd think they're annoying because they have me reaching for my phone, but I find them charming somehow.
A couple examples I have so far:
- Vicktor Taiwo - Shovel Moonlight - the iMessage "ding" at 2:50
- Thundercat - Friend Zone - The "Beacon" alert tone at 0:20 and throughout the song
There are a few other tip-of-my-tongue examples that I can't quite remember. I'm pretty sure that Thundercat has at least one other song that samples an iOS notification sound. There's also a song (pop, with a female singer) that samples the Mail message send "whoosh" sound to evoke an airplane taking off but it came up on a random Spotify radio station so I don't know the song title or artist.
Some other resources I've found are the Whosampled page for Apple, Inc. and this article about songs that sample the iMessage notification sound, but I'm hungry for more songs! The more a part of the song they are, the better!

It's not iOS, but I couldn't help thinking of "Young'n (Holla Back)" by Fabolous with its prominent two-way pager alert (about 0:45)

This might be one of your unnamables? It's a classic anyway.
