Sad guitar music that sounds almost like a funeral dirge? That's the string I'm hearing, however it's not happening during a failed class; it's happening unannounced in the evening, even when Sims aren't in college. It doesn't seem consistent either, like it just happens on some nights and not others.
The "good grades" tune isn't a guitar tune at all; it's an upbeat little tune.

@burin077, my tune was not upbeat! Sounded like a guitar too. But it was only during the grad posting. And I got a C in one of the classes. There is a chance that the tune is bugged and plays even when you don't fail, or even at other times.
However, if this happens a lot when you don't fail or at random times, then I don't think it is this, unless it is bugged.

I just got the same random sound when I had my Brent Hecking encourage the dog Blue (borrowed from his owners) to mate with Rosie. I was like "what the heck?" It was my second attempt at breeding them and hopefully getting a puppy that I'm going to rename the breed to Shar-Pug. It's been a long time since I've heard that sound at all.

I think I know what sound this is since I have been trying to figure this sound out for *years". It's not a mood notification, since there are plenty of YouTube videos about those (not to mention my two Sims aren't changing moods), and after reading this post -noticing that it happened to the OP every day at 6:00- I'm wondering if he was playing in the winter and that was when it was sunset. Because I've noticed in my current game, which is currently in summer, that short sad guitar (in solfege terms it would be Mi Mi Mi Re Mi Fa if that helps) occurs every night at 9:00. Which would be appropriate for summer -- at least where I'm from. I have searched, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. In fact, this post, which I just came across today, is the first time I've seen anybody mention it! I'm about to random Tweet at a SimGuru, but atm they've got bigger fires they're trying to put out...
