Every Windows Startup & Shutdown Sound

Microsoft has released many versions of their Windows PC operating system over the years, with most featuring their own unique startup and shutdown sounds. This video showcases every chime used in the most popular Microsoft Windows releases starting with Windows 1.0 in 1985 and ending with Windows 10 in 2015.

Most people would say Windows XP has the best starting sound but for me personally the Windows 95 startup sound is way more nostalgic and will always have a place in my heart

[@cadethumann8605]

For me, I like the Vista/Windows 7 startup sound. Maybe it's because it is the only startup sound on my Windows 10 (after checking it in the sound settings), but I like it for its gentle and pleasant tune and synth, like that if the Windows 95. The XP, while iconic and cool, is a little loud and bombastic (which can be startling if the speakers are cranked high). I prefer something that has a smoother and more welcoming vibe.

I used the "Utopia" theme on 95 for a long time and that one is pretty nostalgic for me as well.

[@howardthechuck7794]

Brian Eno actually composed the Windows 95 startup sound; (from Wikipedia) In an interview with Joel Selvin in the San Francisco Chronicle he said- The idea came up at the time when I was completely bereft of ideas. I'd been working on my own music for a while and was quite lost, actually. And I really appreciated someone coming along and saying, "Here's a specific problem - solve it." The thing from the agency said, "We want a piece of music that is inspiring, universal, blah-blah, da-da-da, optimistic, futuristic, sentimental, emotional," this whole list of adjectives, and then at the bottom it said "and it must be 3+1⁄4 seconds long." I thought this was so funny and an amazing thought to actually try to make a little piece of music. It's like making a tiny little jewel." In fact, I made eighty-four pieces. I got completely into this world of tiny, tiny little pieces of music. I was so sensitive to microseconds at the end of this that it really broke a logjam in my own work. Then when I'd finished that and I went back to working with pieces that were like three minutes long, it seemed like oceans of time." Eno shed further light on the composition of the sound on the BBC Radio 4 show The Museum of Curiosity, admitting that he created it using a Macintosh computer, stating "I wrote it on a Mac. I've never used a PC in my life; I don't like them."

[@droy47]

Of course it was Brian Eno. This man is behind the scenes creating the life soundtracks for multiple generations.

[@xenos_n.]

That's awesome, creativity is born through limitations and figuring out how to get the most out of them. All those adjectives and 3.25 seconds are very strict limitations so I can imagine how fun of a project that was.

[@BailesSauce2]

As a Windows user myself, I want to make a few corrections: 1. There were no startup or shutdown sounds before Windows 3.1 2. Windows 2000 used the same startup and shutdown sound as Windows ME. The startup sound for Windows 2000 shown here is the one used in the Beta. 3. All builds of Longhorn used XP sounds until Vista RTM. 4. Windows 8 and Windows 10 do not have their own startup sounds. You can enable a startup sound through the control panel. The sound that can be enabled is the Windows Vista/7 startup sound.

The sounds used in this part of the video are actually from a royalty-free custom sound scheme made back in the early 2000s by NEOsounds called the Deep Fantasy Sound Scheme, which was used in several unofficial Longhorn- and Vista-style themes for Windows XP.

[@deniz_ildir]

I think everything boils down to childhood memories and ms windows covering a great portion of our nostalgic sentiment since it spans more than 35 years of home computing. There are fans of every single build, be it 3.1, 95 (especially me), XP... Of course the accesibility of an average user increased drastically over decades, so it is normal to have a higher number of XP fans compared to other editions. In my case, back in the days of Windows 3.1, that operating system were majorly available in computer labs, whereas Win95 made the first major entrance to average households. In my opinion, Windows 95 holds all my teenage memories (yes I am 42 at the moment), and no sound beats the sounds of 95.

[@sebono68]

A few mistakes: Windows versions from 1.01 to 3.0 didn't have a startup or shutdown sound. The WAV file format wasn't around until the early 1990s. The first version of Windows to include a startup sound was Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions, released in 1991. Windows 2000 sounds are incorrect. The sounds you included for it were actually used in beta builds of 2000 from 1946 to 1969. No build of Windows Longhorn ever used or even included those sounds. It used XP sounds up to build 5840, when they were replaced with Vista RTM sounds. Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 did have a startup and shutdown sound, but both were hidden by default. When enabled, they were identical to the Windows Vista/7 sounds. In versions of Windows 10 from 1607 onwards, you could no longer change them without hacking the registry.

[@CNETech]

While yes, 1 compile of build 5840 was the first to use final Vista sounds, build 5469 and up use a mix of XP/Vista sounds.

I will never forget windows XP i used it for all of my childhood i will enver forget the beatiful bliss i will enver forget the luna theme i will never forget the startup and shutdown sound so many memories i will never forget when i would wake up in a saturday or sunday morning when i was like 3 or 4 im not kidding i would go to my windows xp pc and watch tomy&jerry all day so many beatiful old memories 😭

Windows 95 and Windows XP will be always in my heart

[@MCProductionsAU]

I really liked the Windows ME startup and Shutdown. Longhorn is cool too.

[@jamiechampion299]

There are some serious mistakes in this video. Neither of the Windows 2000 sounds are correct, and I think there are a few more.

[@SyrupNX]

Windows Longhorn never had exclusive startup and shutdown sounds. It used Windows XP sounds, then later on used the Windows Vista sounds

[@mattjw16]

gratifiedgranola Windows Longhorn wasn’t even a real version of Windows. It was a beta release for Vista.

[@mattjw16]

I don’t think Windows 8 and Windows 10 have startup and shutdown sounds

[@jamiechampion299]

@@mattjw16 That doesn't mean it isn't a real version of Windows. Windows 8/8.1 and 10 do have startup sounds.

[@tdb9663]

@@SyrupNX it actually did, there were sounds cut from the beta before the vista ones were used

The man fell his head at the computer when the Windows shut down

[@ajpisharodi]

The 1992 and 1995 sounds bring me the most nostalgia for the 90s!

[@pourocks]

I personally grew up with windows Vista and I literally love all of the sounds, despite of being terrified of it for some reason when younger

[@zenphia2]

Also wanted to point out that the Vista betas never used or even included the widespread Longhorn theme.

Dang the windows vista startup hit hard

[@KyleT0928]

Idk why but the Windows 1.0 startup and shutdown noises sound so funny to me
