34 Sounds That Every 90s Kid Will Remember

Welcome to Next of Ken and in this episode, we're counting down 34 Sounds That Every 90s Kids Will Remember. Oh the 90s. One of the best periods of time in history. We had AIM, AOL, AskJeeves, HitClicks... so much. And some of which has been permanently planted into our ear canals for decades to come. I mean who can forget the AOL dialup sounds? I have PTSD just thinking about getting online.

Dude...the nostalgia is strong. Feel like I’m in grade school again.

[@Caleb-fv5fp]

U r old?

[@jessicalinbarnett]

I agree lol 😅

[@thatiowan3581]

I actually found that sound to be very satisfying

[@jwhite3389]

Nostalgia hit me so hard I had to call life alert

[@patriciasanchez8449]

Are you able to get up?

[@jwhite3389]

@@patriciasanchez8449 yea finally did. Took a while tho

[@lamarglenn8372]

I just cried a little i miss my childhood

[@jessicalinbarnett]

I miss my childhood too 😢

[@joniroxanne96]

The PS1 bootup got me in my soul, man! 😄

[@mirahloste9477]

Wow... I'm a 2000s kid but I grew up poor with my teen mom, so I grew up with what her and my grandma grew up with. I always felt older lol

[@largemarge9519]

I was 19 by the time I was 6

[@AspieVert]

I'm a 2000s kid too and I can say I remember half of these.

[@shireeternity1497]

Same

[@Widdekuu91]

I am a European girl, so most of this is..well...not stuff that I've seen. I did recognize PSP sounds, because a friend had them. But not the Bill Nye the science guy or something. Either way, my parents were older than most of the parents and a bit oldfashioned, so they showed me series from the 60's and 70's. I always share the same nostalgia with very old people. I'm nearly 30.

[@bkytr]

90s as well as kids born before at early 2000s had same memories🥺😔 Wish I could go back🥺😓

[@ij329]

Those were the good old days . Please take me back and let me stay there 😭

[@TheBlacktom]

Nope. It's the next generation's time to have a fun time. Your job is to be responsible and take care of them, so in a couple decades they could be nostalgic just like you are today.

[@ij329]

@@TheBlacktom f them kids !

[@brooklyn7722]

Hehehe, giggle giggle. Ahhh yes the memories. Loved it. Amazing you found all that.

[@robinwomack2850]

Did anyone remember Bart Simpson saying....."I'm Bart Simpson who the hell are you?" Nostalgic.....

[@kyndrablankenship1758]

I'm jolly old Saint Nick.

[@coolrock9281]

Oh yeah? we'll just see about that!

[@jessicalinbarnett]

😅😅

[@kyletriola9197]

The memories of my childhood. It was really good to be a '90's kid. This is my whole childhood rolled into one.

[@jessicalinbarnett]

It was the best 😊 😊

[@tyletrose5249]

Teacher: you can't hear pictures. Me:

[@1.5Hours]

What?! No X-Files? No Nanny? No Seinfeld? These 3 basically defined 90's TV. I'm sure there's more, but these 3 stand out to me. OH, & T2!

[@keller109]

90’s KIDS. Not 90’s adults. Shut up

[@rebecca8525]

Those shows were for teenagers and adults, and this video is for 90’s kids.

[@batsignal3469]

THAT WAS SO RADICAL BRUH! STAIGHT UP TRIPPIN!

[@stombstone]

Pogs!

[@reythejediladyviajakku6078]

They need to bring back these sounds.

[@bass2bass2011]

Except number 1 lol

[@DialUpDigest]

Yessss especially wazz uuuuuuupp

[@JeremJarnex]

*squints

[@DPK99ATown]

This takes me back to a summer day hanging out with my brother and the neighborhood crew playing video games, shooting pool on the Fisher Price mini 3 in 1 table and sipping Capri Suns without a care in the World!

[@gregmatic2861]

Disney doesn't have the home video sound anymore?

[@alexandriahunt6058]

Nope 😐

[@walterarroyo5220]

No they stopped doing that a long time ago.😢

[@Nzzertral]

Disney doesn’t even do home video anymore, just streaming. Plus I think they stopped this stuff when they stopped publishing stuff on VHS

[@iinvaderrand]

I was waiting on the, "coming soon to home video."

[@MareZcare]

Like yo momma

[@iinvaderrand]

@@MareZcare already released. It co-starred your dad.

[@antonioenrico]

Also the "in a world" trailer guy voice

[@snapclub8751]

WOW I know nearly all of these sounds. Ahh the memories. I miss being a child.

[@itatsuuchiha96]

Nostalgia big time

[@ArkaeaFCL3]

Great way to start the day with a strong dose of nostalgia. Thanks NOK! 😁👍

[@mr.peanutbutter6969]

A time before HD tv. :) You feel that slipping through your hands? Its your childhood.

[@InternetSado]

As a 90s kid from the UK, only recognised a few, but damn do I feel old now...

[@mondocamp]

Amazing. Just amazing how much little bits of sounds (and images ofc) gotten stuck in the deep of us. Thanks for the compilation! ♥

[@DealerJack10]

2:38 Boy they’re shooting me right in the heart with this one. My first Zelda game on my favorite console of all time. Wow. What a rush of nostalgia!

[@Astral_Dusk]

Happy to have appreciated the 80s and 90s growing up. Incredible decades, the music overall really did hit some human spirit harder in perhaps the entire 20th century.

[@themindofanerd]

You don't know patience until you've listened to a 16 minute song ON DIAL UP

[@gridironthrowback2834]

#11 the noise that got us all in trouble when we tried to stay up late without parents knowing

[@jadecrooks4856]

I honestly learned more about Science from watching Bill Nye The Science Guy, than in my actual Science classes.

[@DC-dtom1776]

Only to discover later on in life that he is a paid fraud.

[@REFoUoG]

I actually learned a lot more from the show "Zoom"

[@kittenmarkie]

We would watch Bill Nye in our science class

[@dragonmaster613]

#13 is my personal favorite. Gets me going everytime! Same with #7 onward!

[@tortle9336]

I was born in 2007 and still got most of these.

[@Hearse_curse]

I'm a 2000s kid, but I remember all of these!😭💔 the nostalgia bro!!!!!😭💕👌💔

[@JeremJarnex]

we can tell by the emojis

[@HufflinPuffs]

The nostalgia is strong with this one

[@toddianuzzijr420sofficialc5]

The viacom logo the one that Don lafontaine says viacom is iconic and it made me 😂😂😂😂😂

[@btetschner]

That last one is perfect to end the video with. Awesome sounds, thank you for the video.

[@PineappleBuddhist]

So glad to have this channel back again

[@DarkLadyJade]

Thanks for uploading. It's always nice to reminisce. =)

[@Sunshine-zm1fx]

This is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I wish someone would do something like this but for the 80s.

[@BuckBran]

#32 is so short but it’s probably the one that I was most surprised by because the others were fresher on my mind and that one was really one that I hadn’t thought of but came flooding in stronger than any others. #31 doesn’t really have much pull on me but it’s about as 90s as it gets so I love it. I’d go back to the 90s anytime, it’s 100% the best time to be alive, I hate cell phones(at least what they’ve become) and having that dial up internet was a time when people had a degree of connection that made it cool and a good thing but without the controlling, time consuming giant it’s become. I almost thought that the “you’ve got mail” wasn’t gonna be included on the list and #1 was going to just be the dial up tone so that was nice to be thrown in right at the end, it gave me a smile. I’d love to be able to get on the computer at the end of the day like I used to with the anticipation of wondering if I “got mail” or not.

[@1.5Hours]

But, great list. Felt like a teen again. Thanx for this list. I love your lists, but this by far, one of my favourites.

[@millerwilliams8S]

Man this thing had me almost in tears,,, the good days

[@bubzilla6137]

Ah yes, the good old days.... Thanks for this! I remember almost all of those.... The old Nokia cellphones were indestructible! I had one that got slammed in the hood of a car and run over by that same car. It had some cosmetic damage, very minimal, screen was unharmed, and it still worked like brand new! A few years later, I had a Nokia in my t-shirt breast pocket and it fell into a washing machine full of soapy water. It sunk to the bottom and it took me like 5 or 10 minutes to find it. I dried it as best I could, but again, soap. I disassembled it as far as I could, set all the pieces in front of a strong fan turned on high, left it for over 24 hours. Still dead. So I reassembled it and put it in a box. About 6 months later, I was going through my stuff and I came across the phone. It took me like 30 minutes to figure out where it came from, I had completely forgotten about it. When I realized what it was, just for fun, I hit the power button. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! It turned on! It didn't have service at this point, but I explored and everything worked as if nothing had ever happened to it! I really miss my old Nokias..... 🤯😉🙂

[@1.5Hours]

Good old Snake.

[@JeremJarnex]

you use a lot of ellipses. you sure you're a 90s kid?

[@burnzy3210]

want to hear a song when the radio or TV wasn't playing it? >save up money >take a bus >go to a shop, find and buy the cassette >ride the bus home (excited) >play that tape on repeat until you can afford something else >repeat

[@PurplePinkRed]

Some of these are American only, espevially the commercials, but I did get most of them 😊

[@oftankoftan]

1:39 omg I totally forgot about disney home video. I was instantly transported to my cousin's house, watching the rescuers down under.

[@Daren_PNW]

Many late nights playing PS1 and using AOL, lol. And...."Se-e-e-e-g-a-a-a-a".

[@walterarroyo5220]

The Ocarina of time intro almost made me cry.

[@pinkchaos.]

Kids born in 2001 be like “omg I remember this!!” 🤦🏼‍♀️ let us have our sh’t ✋🏻

[@Rodgort42]

The commonality of experience for a whole generation is incredible.

[@DC-dtom1776]

I wish I could give this 90 likes in honor of that 90s nostalgia.

[@STAROMEGA54]

Sweet

[@TawnyDarko]

My brain just released more serotonin in 4 minutes than it has in 4 years ❤

[@chasingsunset9801]

80s born and raised with everything cool from the 90s 🥰

[@Sandlot1992]

some of these bring back memories to me!

[@patricknelson]

Funny those Budweiser commercials would stand out to a 90's kid (not even old enough to drink).

[@emeraldqueen4654]

80 kids and 90s/toddler we need a time machine i want to go back in miss it so much 😢😢😭😭😭💔

[@luissantiago5163]

Oh neato. Cool vid idea. Bomb

[@TheJackleOfWallStreet]

The THX sound was the loudest know to mankind 😂😂

[@gitv2987]

I programmed this as a random alarm clock, so I can wake up happy, when forced to..

[@itiswhatitis141]

The city of townsville....is under attack...so good haha

[@LT-ub5kh]

Number one. Me trying to get online. My mom yelling she's on the phone.

[@kaylarcreates0215]

OH GOSH THE FIRST SOUND HAD TO BE MY CHILDHOOD NIGHTMARE

[@Abigblueworld]

#11 Not even a 90s kid, but this is such a meme and a show I watched in Elementary school 2015-2017

[@tatyanarodriguez1561]

Only three sounds were new to me and I am okay with that, also I wished more of these were still used today. I can't believe how many of these were just living in the back of my mind.

[@billysmith5409]

Pretty much the only thing from this list that I don’t miss was the horrible dialup modem sound.

[@shadellezorrilla8323]

Best Video EVER !!!! Brought me back to when everything made sense 🦾

[@rebecca8525]

I was a 90’s adolescent, not a 90’s kid, but I remember a few of these.

[@rektralph6778]

Ahh, the sounds of my childhood lol

[@EtherealOriginate]

Some 2000’s remember this.

[@Bluntz1289]

Ah yes. Number 1. I will never forget that dial up sound.

[@CBosridesandreviews]

wow, my childhood wrapped up lol

[@Godsglory777]

The Power Rangers, Duke Nukem and both Nintendo and Super Nintendo defined my childhood and early adult life.

[@LaShea69]

My little 34 year old heart thanks you.

[@sarahavery2757]

Omg such a good time! All those sounds major nostalgia

[@SonorGeek05]

Indeed friend. Hopefully some major genius can invent a time machine so we can go back to the 90's. Really miss those days.

[@musashiblade1512]

I feel sorry for the kids growing up these days. They will never know the awesomeness of the 90s. Things were so much more enjoyable before smartphones and high speed internet.

[@jessiblue3]

Nostalgia rocks! My favorite one on the video is number 12

[@darkmyro]

when it said " the city of Townsville" I was expecting it to be followed by " but enough about that" XD

[@jamesvanitas]

#6 SHARITA REPULSA

[@gabrielhstockstill2854]

The Microsoft Windows 95 intro and PlayStation intro mixed really well together. ❤

[@nickvandernet]

For kids in one particular part of the planet who were addicted to tv and/or video games methinks. My 90s mates and I were outside till the lights came on...

[@alexxistiredofyourbullshit7144]

I just had an unpleasant visceral reaction to the Nokia ringtone

[@Abigblueworld]

For #22, as an Incoming call lover, this sound doesn't need an age to be cool

[@jamiestauffer3700]

Man I miss the 90's. 😪

[@wreckingballjones1179]

The PS1 opening sound touched my soul.wore my PS1 out playing mgs and twisted metal 3 .. power rangers Beavis and Butt-Head holy hell..hard to believe it's been that long daaaaaamm.. but we can still find Beavis and Butt-Head on Pluto tv .thank you for the video indeed my 34 year old soul appreciate the nostalgia.

[@OphidianGG]

Every 90s kid except those living anywhere else but the US lol

[@largemarge9519]

The Disney castle one struck way to hard and I'm only 15

[@JabezFuutonSpecialis]

Oh the nostalgia. The only one I never really was number 26 since I never watched that show

[@TheA6surdNerdz]

#13 might be the greatest sound ever made.

[@the_changerang]

I'm a 2000s kid and I recognize alot of these 😂

[@mrlinsalata]

THAT MORTAL KOMBAT THO!!!!!!

[@deannad9105]

I never realized how poor we were growing up, until I just listened to these sounds and realized I didn't recognize half of them, because we didn't have cable or the Internet at home😭 Although, now that I think about it.....🤔 My parents waited until all six kids moved out, then got both cable and eventually the internet. Maybe they just didn't want us to get too comfortable living with them😂

[@claireguerin9639]

Irish and UK kids from the 2000s remembering all of this because we were behind the states

[@angiesfettuccine0929]

can you do one for the 80's? I've looked all over for 80s sounds as great as this video, but all I get are wierd keyboard music compilations in poor quality. Do you mind throwing a little thing together, maybe some game over sounds too? Thank you!

[@Abigblueworld]

#20, my literal 9 year old brother played this so much recently...

[@JAPARICAN50-50]

I really miss the golden age of the 90s

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

Win 95 and PS1 sounds are both epic

[@StarryJewel]

The DSL sound. The horrible, horrible DSL sound! And yet, I kinda miss it...

[@japtakito8551]

Ah memories ... God, I’m OLD!!!!

[@caydenharrison1181]

Hello. I know I have heard the sound at 3:59 but cannot for anything think of where that comes from. Unfortunately, I cannot see the screen since I am visually impaired. Let me know what it is so I can maybe use it in a project. God bless and have a good night.

[@namizou3305]

Was born in 2001 and remember half of these❤

#1 gave me anxiety lol
