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.
Windows XP startup and ending 😭 will not forget. My childhood was on that
Same except windows xp isnt from my childhood we just had an ancient computer 😂
The XP Sounds like the thinkpad
window xp is still using at my country metro system 😭😭😭😱😱
Xp will always be remembered
that's nice 😄 I am a 2010's kid so windows 7 and partly windows 8 are definitely memorable
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.
I used the "Utopia" theme on 95 for a long time and that one is pretty nostalgic for me as well.
The same
Agree. It’s so elegant
change the world...
Sonically, the Windows 95 and OG Playstation startups really were indicative of the start of a new era in tech. Those sound designers really knocked it out of the park. 👌🏼
And into space
Yeah, I agree, but, sonically(?)
i gotta be honest windows 95 and xp were the only good ones they've had yet.

It's been over 20 years, and Windows 98's startup sound still makes me panic and reach out for the volume down switch.
Yeah it’s pretty fucking THX loud
I remember windows xp during 9/11

Nostalgia in its purest form.

@@famelga-yt I did this and still no sound happens
@@famelga-yt is there a shutdown sound?
Me too!
@@AsianDrag0n no there isn't
There's no startup sound, it was from Windows 10 or HoloLens advertisement video shows Windows 10 logo with sound.
I never thought I would be hit by feelings of nostalgia just by listening the starting up sound of Windows XP and Windows 7...
I was born in 1989. XP and Vista will be forever remind me if my child hood and teen age years. It shaped my thinking and feelings on a blank slate. Today… I’ve realized how destructive and wonderful tech can be.
1989 too. Relatable

Our computer still has them.
Real bro...
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."
Of course it was Brian Eno. This man is behind the scenes creating the life soundtracks for multiple generations.
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.
windows sounds made on a mac, rip
I don’t remember Windows 8 or 10 having a startup or shutdown sound..
They do, but they usually aren't enabled.
@@jamiechampion299 how can I enable
Windows 10 just uses the Windows 7 startup
Andrey Lucas:
1 - Open the Start Menu
2 - Type “Sound”
3 - Click on Sound - Control Panel
4 - Go to the “Sounds” section
5 - Check the box “Enable Startup Sound”
6 - Click “Apply”
You have to enable them in the settings
0:53 and 2:08
You’re welcome
Thank you tech god your amazing but I still Watch the full thing. Lol
How'd you know? lol
🙃
I caused a chain 🙃

Amazing. Hearing the Windows 2000 (ME), XP and Vista sounds, I vividly recall the excitement I felt when I upgraded to each of them. Back then, installing a new OS felt much like getting your hands on shiny new tech. Those were some fun times.
I grew up with Windows 7, I’ll *never* forget those sounds…
Windows sounds went from boring, to interesting, and then to boring again
They went from interesting, to amazing, to interesting

It was from simple to complex then to simple
@@thespermsharkthespermwhale1938 well it went from windows 1.0-2000 which is the interesting, XP to 7 is amazing, and windows 8.1-11 is interesting
0:30 hits my childhood nerve so bad. I wanna go back.
Same. Win 98 was the OS on my first PC and the memories are distinct.
I never used a win 98 I have used xp
same my childhood too
That sound just unlocked a core memory for me.
Let’s hope that time travel exists
1:00 Most beautiful one.
Yeah, why'd they scrap it?
Sounds demonic.
it sound like new smb wii
@@Hxcker471It sounds heavenly. What are you talking about?
Windows XP and 7 are by far the best windows OS to ever exist, not to mention the most nostalgic. I remember I was able to get the Windows XP startup sound on my windows 10 laptop, it was hilarious too.
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.
I have a windows 10 but what is the control panel

Windows XP HAS THE BEST SOUND EVERR im crying of nostalgia😭
It’s not bad but I think The ones from 2000/ME are better
xp sounds are good bot bc of nostalgia but rather they were just made good

@@theark-la-missrailfan im not getting it by hearing the old ones because i was not born even when windows 8 was released
Our Entire childhood 0:53 and 2:07😀❤ happy memories forever
Personally I also liked Win Me 0:45 such an orchestral feeling
7 And vista will always hold a special place in my heart. My mom has one that used to run 7 and I loved that sound.
Windows XP & Vista/7 sounds are pretty iconic and nostalgic.
Windows XP has the best startup and shutdown sounds.
yes
Timestanp i cant find
Eh, they aren’t bad, though I prefer the ones from 2000/ME
It's the weidest
I prefer 2000/Me and Server 2003
Windows XP is undefeated. A musical masterpiece!
Windows 7 sound made me cry because I used that computer very much and now it's stored in my basement. I really miss those old days using that computer. Really nostalgic to me
I knew several of these, and a few are nostalgic for me, but the best for its time was definitely Windows XP. I remember the first time I heard all those grand, sweeping symphonic melodies, and just feeling wowed by the whole experience (it may have helped that this was my first computer of my own, and it had amazing speakers).
Windows 95 gives me chills. A much better time than now.
Its called peace in negligence
It makes me feel very, very old :) Vierco1005's response says it very well. It was from a time where I had no worries, was able to focus completely and experience soo many new cool things. So the 95 sound takes me back and gives my mind and body a certain state of how it was
Both 95 and 98 came from a solid time when the internet wasn't needed to make anything work besides the internet browser (Netscape Communicator).
Nah Bro your life was just better because you were a kid
I used to love Microsoft 3.0 when I was a kid, it gave me so much memories. It will always be in my heart.😔💔❤️
Windows 98 & Windows XP ❤
So much nostalgia... Best years of my life

I remember my family had these old computers and remembering the windows Vista when I was 6 years old or so playing bejeweled 2, purble place, cake mania and more on those and I'm 19 now and this brings back a lot of early memories and recently we had gotten rid of them when we were cleaning our house and we've not used those computers in years
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.
You're not ThatRandomToast!
The fake Longhorn sounds actually came from a sound scheme made by Samsung for Windows XP.
0:10 *Change da world my final message. Goodbye*
damn i commented that before i read the comments, time to delete mine
windows 95 start up sound will forever be the best start up theme of all time
Bro windows vista and windows 7 give me so much nostalgia. Its like I'm in elementary school again
1:42 sounds like the ultimate intro to a vaporwave song.
dure that's literlately the startup sound reversed
@@JasonBerlk No shit
windows xp and 7 will always be in my heart. all the 2000s kids know the reason why!
Yes
Sleeping: ❌
Listening to every startup: ☑️
Longhorn's chimes are absolutely amazing!
I wonder why they don't reuse those for 7 again since I would have preferred those over the Vista ones.
@DanielAndroidClassic Nope, it is real. Windows Longhorn is an actual build of Windows, though only released to some beta testers and was eventually leaked to the internet.
@DanielAndroidClassic Okay, so I did some Google searching and it turns out you were right.
The real sounds came from a Samsung Desktop, I've been bamboozled.
I love the ones between 2001-2009 I miss them 😭😭😭
for me its windows xp and 7. i dislike 8 because its slow
Windows XP and Windows 7 will have a special place on my heart
Will never forget the startup/shutdown sound of Windows Vista and 7.
Sounds of our childhood in the 90s and early 00s
Windows XP Startup and Shutdown Sound made me nostalgic. Childhood memories came flashing by.
I still remember the Windows 3.0. The last Windows I used at home was the XP and It still gives me goosebumps.
Clearly you're not remembering right, since it had no sound files in the OS. 3.0 came out on May 22, 1990, and .WAV files were created in 1991.
@@CNETech 3.0 Lastest Release supported audio already (The Multimedia Extension) so i think youre right he couldn't remember it clearly because the sound wasn't similar to the MME one however 3.0 does HAS an startup sound at a specific version
God damn, 95 got me so damn nostalgic.
2:22 the best one
1:07 this just brought back so many memories of elementary school
Ah yes & everytime it started up everyone laughed
Win XP opening and closing sound gives me goose bumps. Childhood nostalgia 😊
The memes ruined the sound for me all I feel is laughter
Windows 95 and Windows XP will be always in my heart
95 most nostalgic and beautiful at same time with the iconic clouds in the back
Why have I never heard windows 10 startup and shutdown sounds?
they aren't actually used at all
Harrison Gray Because they are not enabled by default. To enable them (Windows 10 or later):
1 - Open the Start Menu
2 - Type “Sound”
3 - Click on Sound - Control Panel
4 - Go to the “Sounds” section
5 - Check the box “Enable Startup Sound”
6 - Click “Apply”
David Jose Ribeiro it enables windows vista/7 startup it has happened to me
Adrian Melarangi Yes you are right the startup sound shown in the video is fake :)
David Jose Ribeiro I just did it and it uses the Windows 7 startup sound. I knew windows 10 could have a startup sound configured but I knew it wasn’t the one heard in the video.
0:10, 0:54 and 1:07 are very iconic
Don’t forget 0:06
Don't sleep on 98 at 0:30.
Windows 95 startup is so nostalgic. I remember my very old school computers in the computer room still had it after all those years and.
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.
Man 95 and 98. I miss those. Plus that sound reminds me of Hover, which is easily my favorite preloaded game on any device ever.
Damn, the Windows 98 shutdown sound is used for my senior high school alarm
Those Windows 2000 sounds were actually used in the beta builds 1946-1969. The RTM version used the same sounds as ME.
I remember for years my junior high and high schools had those old Windows 95 computers and we’d always hear that startup.
Aww Windows Me! I had almost forgotten that startup sound, but it brings back a flood of memories! For me, that's the most nostalgic. Also definitely a place in my heart for the Windows 95 shutdown, imo the best of the shutdowns.
Windows 7 and Windows XP startups were my childhood 😭
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.
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 wasn’t born yet when Windows 98 came out yet it has my favorite startup sound
I remember the first time I plug up my computer as a kind and heard that windows 95 jingle..... Nostalgia
0:01 that sounds like my grammar teacher yelling. seriusly
Lol
Jajajajajaja 😂😂😂
Haha That's Funny 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
The Windows XP reminds me of my childhood moments. I was a toddler when I pass that xp thing!!! Missed that one until now... 🥰🥰🥰
Windows XP was the core of my childhood. Vista being centered on my teen years.
I think Windows XP is one of my top favorite windows computer I ever own. But now it's no more. Now I have Windows 10 now! :-(
There's nothing more beautiful than the windows ME shutdown sound 😍
let's not do an Windows-related videos if you don't know it's versions' sounds.
Yeah, he probably just searched up "Windows 10 startup and shutdown sounds" on UA-cam and he didn't realize that the sounds were fake.

Yes because they are not enabled by default. To enable them:
1 - Open the Start Menu
2 - Type “Sound”
3 - Click on Sound - Control Panel

David Jose Ribeiro What’s the start menu?
krishnugget do you use Windows 8 or something
Celery Towers. No, just confused what exactly the Start menu is, if he just means the search bar at the bottom left of the search bar, I tried that and didn’t come across anything
Windows XP and Windows 7 took me right back to elementary school

@@RWL2012 This video is 57% a joke!
Some sounds are correct. But the rest of them is wrong! Here's why.
Windows 1.0 and 3.0 didn't use sound.
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.
Windows 8 and Windows 10 use Windows 7 sounds, however, they are disabled by default.

The windows 8 and 10 startup is burried in the files but it is unused so if you enable startup sounds you'll just hear the win 7 one
@@dziewiatka_official No, Windows ME used Windows 98 sounds fool.
There are some serious mistakes in this video. Neither of the Windows 2000 sounds are correct, and I think there are a few more.
Windows Longhorn never had exclusive startup and shutdown sounds. It used Windows XP sounds, then later on used the Windows Vista sounds
gratifiedgranola Windows Longhorn wasn’t even a real version of Windows. It was a beta release for Vista.

@@LeMartinOG Some of the sounds are wrong, like both of the Windows 2000 sounds.
@@jamiechampion299 Yeah those are the NT 5.0 Beta sounds. Also, the Windows 1.x/2.x and 3.x sounds were wrong because no sound devices ever supported these OSes (you could say 3.0 w/MME but it didn't come with those sounds.) The Windows 8.x and 10 shutdown sounds were wrong, they should be the Windows 7 ones. Lastly, the Windows 10 startup is just an audio clip from the end of early Windows 10 promo videos. My god, I've wasted too much of my life on this compootare stuff.
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
