    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

      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.

    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."

    @BailesSauce2 3 роки тому +371

    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.

  • @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.

    0:59 This is not actually the Windows Longhorn startup, and 2:13 is not actually the Windows Longhorn shutdown. The real Windows Longhorn uses Windows XP sounds. 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.

    I grew up with the Windows 95 sound (because that's what my elementary school's computers had) so that's my favorite, but man Windows XP is an EXTREMELY close 2nd. I see why that's a lot of people's favorite, but for me, the Win95 startup sound just screams childhood to me. Just reminds me of being a child and having a sense of wonder about the world.

    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

      The Windows 2000 sounds used in the video actually come from Pre-Beta 3 builds. Windows 2000 RTM used Windows Me sounds.
      Windows Longhorn used Windows XP sounds. However, in RC builds, it used the Vista logon and logoff.
