      Learned of this feature earlier today and it's quite enjoyable. :)

      Currently using one called Ethereal fairy win sound

      It can be found here:
      https://mixkit.co/free-sound-effects/fairy/

      Simple site online that converts audio to an .OGG codec.
      https://convertio.co/mp3-ogg/

      Curious if anyone else has special settings or enhancements, and if so, what are you using?

      Cheers.

            Forgot to mention how this can be done.

            Replace the unlock.ogg file with anything of your choosing.

            /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/assets/sounds
            

            If you're using WinSCP:

            Ctrl + Alt + H will show you the hidden files and folders which is not available to view by default.

            To enable, it's Settings, Achievements, Unlock Sound.

              It's quite fun to change a sound file and use it for the achievements. I use the gameboy Pokemon levelling up sound, I won't link to it as it's copyrighted I'm sure, but it's easy enough to find a wav or mp3 to convert online
