  • A brief history of the startup sounds used in the Macintosh/iMac Computer Line from Apple. The original startup sound made its debut in 1984 with the Macintosh 128K. The startup sound used in today’s iMac/Mac Pro/MacBooks has been around since the late 1990s.

    The startup sounds on computers don't change no matter what OS you have...it depends on the Motherboard.
    The first one is on Mac Plus/SE
    2nd is on SE/30
    3rd is on IIx (i think)
    4th is the Quadras and LCs
    5th is Power Mac 5200
    6th is Power Mac 6100
    7th is Power Mac 5400
    8th is Power Mac G3
    9th is all the newer ones (iMac, eMac, etc.)

    Well, I have nothing against Linux. You're totally right about it requiring less hardware specs. One of the reasons I like Mac and Linux is because you're not having to upgrade your system all the time sort of like you were saying. Running Linux or OS X is a lot less headache than owning a Windows machine. It sure makes life easier. I'll never go back to a Windows PC if I can help it.

    hahaha...the last three (the modern startup sounds) soud like an orchestral three-key change intro of some sort. like the first two are preceding the third one, and when it gets to the third one, it sounds like the chord should be held out really long and cymbals/tympani/harps should be rolling in the background while the chord does a sforzando.

    Hasn't anyone ever had the problem with an old Mac 2, where you try to turn the Max 2 on, the start music would play, then some creepy ass short tune would play after that, then the computer just shuts itself off again while the whole screen is black? What was APPLE thinking?! Why does it have to be so creepy?! That tune has haunted me for the rest of my life!

    You need to remember that Macs make the startup sound when they boot up to indicate that there are no hardware or fundamental software problems. It's the equivalent to that little beep you hear when you turn some PCs on. So basically, it shouldn't be compared to Windows as that's just a little "welcome" sound. The best one is Windows 95 :)

    @TheOtsku it's because those 3 chords are each slightly detuned from the last. the effect was that the lower the tone got, the better the bass resonation sounded mixed with the chime. if you listen with good speakers, you can tell the difference. not much, but just enough, because apple is perfect :D
