Macintosh Startup Sound History - Bring Back the Bong! (RIP 1984-2016)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 бер 2018
- The startup sound has been an iconic part of the Macintosh since 1984. With Apple discontinuing the sound, Jim Reekes, the creator of the sardonic sound we know today-voiced his opinions. To pay homage, let’s time travel through Mac startup sound history.

UPDATE: in macOS 11 Big Sur, Apple has officially released a checkbox option that lets users turn the sound back on! We did it! We brought back the bong!
Hey, all! Hope you enjoy the new video. As part of our tribute to the Mac startup sound, today we ask: what startup sound was your favorite, and do you think Apple should bring it back to the Mac?
I have a Mac Pro, that came with macOS Sierra and it even doesn't play the sound anymore, it did in the beginning though, just not anymore since a couple of updates. So a command line might fix this, i will try it out. But yeah, i think they do need to bring it back. There was always an option to turn it down or mute it, so i think people should have that choice. I liked it, it let me knew that my system started up fine.
The Quadra startup sound (or any Mac with the 1 MB ROM) was my favourite. Apple should definitely bring back the startup chime - it's what made the Mac different from a PC way back when.
Computer Clan the PowerBook in the intro was My personal favourite
the second highest bong
what apple should bring back is a CEO that doesn't remove every feature that everyone is used to.
No magsafe, no glowing apple, no boot sound... damn, new macbooks really lost everything that once made them special :(
YUP! hate them,will never get one,and do not get me started on that HUI guideline breaking awful touch bar and no headphone jack! terrible just awful.
william dechant But, there *is* a headphone jack..
lol to use your airpods
I wanna like your comment but you’re on 69 likes
Apple lost their mojo, but USB C looks aesthetic, however apple jumped on the bandwagon too fast.
Never been a Mac person, but it sucks that they got rid of the startup sound given its history. At the very least, you would think they would have at least gone the 'disable by default, but give the end-user the option' route. RIP :(
Yeah, but you realize Apple hates choice (and fun for that matter), right?
I like the new one
they brought it back except now it's vine boom tier on the thicker MBPs
YESSSSSSSSS! WE FINALLY BROUGHT BACK THE CLASSIC OL' BONG ON MY M1!
how
@@20v552 simple, they just added it back... but lowered it by an octave (I think)
@@20v552 Apple re-added it

I remember I was really hesitant to buy a MacBook Pro, I wasn't familiar with the operating system and it was very expensive. The startup sound, glowing Apple logo and MagSafe charger made me feel like I bought a very unique and premium laptop! I feel like some of these features add to the experience of owning a MacBook and I would definitely like to see Apple bring it back.
Fun Fact: In macOS Big Sur, the iconic name "Sosumi" was replaced with "Sonumi".
another classic thing ruined by modern apple :(
You don't have any source
@with en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sosumi
the history tab says it changed to sonumi
@with what version of big sur do you have in the vm
Well,. yes
I'm really not looking forward the day I'll have to replace my late 2011 MacBook Pro. However I'm sure I'll just get a second hand Mac which still has the startup sound.
I'm so much used to it (for the past 12 years, which is more than 40% of my entire life) that I can't really imagine a Mac not having this sound. Steve Jobs would never let this happen.
Agree, Jobs would hate this.
Wait, they removed the startup sound?
On newer Macs, yes.
I still have it on my macbook air (macos high sierra)
“Mac models from early 2016 and earlier make a chime sound when they start up. Mac models from late 2016 and newer don't have a startup chime, with the exception of MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017).” -Apple website
@@cringeman114 the latest macbook air hasn't been refresh since 2015. thats why
@@NonsensicalSpudz how funny that the refreshed 2018 MacBook Air came out less than a month after you made your comment
I don't know why Apple take apart the sound, I LOVE IT, I mean, is like you turn on you Mac and you know is a Mac! Hahaha maybe don't explain me well, but you know, is a sound in the heart of Mac and us
Wow, I just saw the video again and my comment haha, I'm so happy Apple bring back the chime, in my M1 Pro MacBook Pro sounds so good, I love it so much!
I have a 2010-ish mac running on os high sierra. The sound in all its glory is still with me.
0:16 Okay..
0:17 Getting Better
0:19 There you go!
Damn, some of these sounds make me want to get some old-school ambient synthesizer...
Me too, fean. These sounds would cool to remix

It’s back with Big Sur! Yayyyy
And magsafe is back too
5:09 My favourite Macintosh startup sound is the one at 0:11 - 0:13 (Source: very old Computer Clan video). I believe that it's one of the greatest sounds ever.
I'm also with the 96% of the poll; I might not use Apple products, but I would really like the sound to return back. I would like to hear it on startup. I think that it makes Macs stand out from generic Windows PCs.
I do like that one, too. Kinda wish I kept that old Power Mac.
I used to work at AppleCare and that startup sound was a pretty good indication to hear over the phone whenever someone rebooted their system.
Yeah, that one was featured in some Power Mac 5300 all-in-one models and also featured on the rare PowerPC Upgrade Cards for some 68040 based Macs. I have it on my LC 575 with the PowerPC card. When I boot 68040, it is the regular Mac chime. When I boot from the PowerPC card, I get that cooler sounding chime.
Lets make a trend >:)
#BringBackTheBong
Read Pinned comment We brought back the bong!
*Y E S*
So my question is, why the start up sound got pitched down by time?
Wondering the same thing
maybe it sounds more 'Relaxing?'
System bloat making the sound heavier. ;-/
@@iWinnipeg hhhhhh
speaker quality.?
Fantastic video! One thing I've noticed from having been in many countries is that the latest F#maj chime pitch may fluctuate, depending on location and voltage. I've had the same computer play the chime as a Fmaj, F#maj and Gmaj chord.
Hey, Jim's my cousin! It's always cool to see articles/videos referencing his work at Apple. Random fact, his dad also worked for Apple, be it back in the "Apple II" days.
I remember when I was 11 and I got my first iMac, fantastic little 21 inch thing it made me so happy, hearing that beloved "Duunnn" chime is part of the mac experience, to me that sound means "hello! what will we do today?" in its own chirpy so-dumb-it-cute way, removing that to be "slick" or "sophisticated" takes away from what a mac really is, A device to just enjoy the magic of technology and computing.
I love the Startup Chime! I really don’t like the fact that they removed it! It’s so iconic! How could they do that?!?
Why did they do it? I don't know. Maybe its because since 2011, whe Jobs died, they headed in there own direction and maybe removing the startup sound was one of them. I personally don't know.
I have the one of the first iMacs with the startup sound (1998 Rev. B Bondi Blue), and one of the last iMacs with the startup sound (Late 2015 5K Retina), and yes both start up with the same sound which is amazing to think about given how nearly everything else is completely different. Very sad how Apple removed it from the latest Mac models, and it just goes to show how the Mac is being neglected by Apple in the post-iOS-device era (iMac with Retina 5K and iMac Pro are really the only big product releases they've done to show otherwise in the last four years, maybe the 2016 MacBook Pro but that one is debatable for a variety of compromises, and the MacBook only exists to provide an iPad-style Mac at a much higher price).
I remember in middle school when we used Mac books in class, all of the bong sounds started playing at once and it sounded amazing
Same me I had class to all old MacBooks and iMac too everyday morning turn on startup sounds so amazing!
My 2017 MacBook Air still has the bong. Such a nostalgic sound...
Because it is based on 2015 hardware.
I really wish Apple just came up with a new startup chime. Ugh, that alone just gives me a taste of how bad post-Jobs Apple is.
Funny seeing you here...
Well, We, Teens can say that it's probably scare kids, I was scared of Windows XP startup sound when I was 4. XD
i can do one!
The “Tim Cook Apple”...... ugh!!!

Yes
The terminal command actually does work. Tried it out today and brought back the chime on my mid 2018 MacBook Pro!
The terminal command is actually different than what I showed in the video. I suppose it's a new discovery!
I love the startup sound!! It just is so loud, I fall out of my chair every time it happens lol,
I swear that they sampled the ‘bong’ for Rockman & Forte’s OST. Specifically, the CD database in the SNES version.
The terminal command worked on my 2015 MacBook Pro. The startup sound was just disabled by default.
2016 is when the startup sounds were starting to get phased out.
Computer Clan I see.
You're right on that they just muted the famous chime. If I get a new macbook pro or the new imac pro (which I won't get XD) I'll hack the sound back to normal and boom, the sound to me makes me feel happy that it still boots up and stuff.
Calneva32 It worked on my 2014 Macbook Air
THAT'S BECAUSE YOUR USING A MACHINE OLDER THAN 2016. It dosen't matter the OS.
I turned off the computer mid-video and turned it back on and was about to comment "Yay they brought it back" but then I remembered my computer's from 2013.
Thankfully my Mac still has this sound. So nice.
3:13 is my favorite. It's so nostalgic. reminds me of using System 7 on my LC575 back in early to mid 90s. Of seeing the Mac OS in colour, using ClarisWorks Office, playing Flying Nightmares and Escape Velocity. Exploring MacFormat CDs. Those times were really awsome
I grew up with that sound

That startup sound was so beautiful
I remember that nostalgic boot up sound when I was a kid in 1999 and 2001, it was on the Macintosh g3 desktop computer. Those were the days man
top 10 sad anime deaths
is the bong sound an anime?
Apple still has the startup sound, at least to my knowledge. My MacBook Pro (late 2013, retina) still has it.
Edit: I’m dumb and didn’t watch the entire video...
TBCMiro The Air was not updated for years, so basically there is no 2017 MacBook Air, if they ever update it, it will probably loose the sound as well.
u mean 2015 btw.
Yeah, was about to say, my late 2013 iMac still has it.
Lol I have the exact same computer.
my iMac pro still has it
I use a 2012 macbook pro 13.5 . I converted it to linux mint. The startup chime persisted though. Finally figured it out and silenced it. Hearing it again on here I'm surpringly nostalgic...not enough to re-enable it though. Great vid. cheers

"He was a good sound."
I miss all the sounds to be honest. I want all the sounds with the Aqua Interface...
Want the Startup chime again on 2016+ Mac? Follow this info:
(so far confirmed to work on many models using Mojave or Catalina)
1. Open Terminal
2. Type sudo nvram StartupMute=%00
3. Enter admin password and press enter (you will not see anything as you type)
4. Restart Mac and enjoy.
To disable, do anyone of these 4:
- Type sudo nvram StartupMute=%01
- Type sudo nvram -d StartupMute
- reset PRAM on startup (press and hold CMD (⌘)-OPT(⌥)-P-R on startup)
- turn off and pull plug on desktop Macs (not all models)

worked for me
all of them each has it nice sound for it's time
My new MacBook Pro that I got earlier this year has the startup sound back
And you forgot to tell about 20 anniversary edition Macintosh
I suppose we could've gone into it more, but we showed it at the beginning.
I hate the new Apple these days, they just keep removing things people love, things that are iconic, and things we are used to, when its not needed! Apple back in the day used to ADD features, not REMOVE them, their products felt different, and i think its a real shame that Apple is removing these features, that their products are recognized for.. And all the way back in 2007, when the Apple event where the iPhone was getting announced, Steve said its gonna be a Phone, a iPod, and a breakthrough Internet communication (my english is bad i know), now tell me, how useful is an iPod, without a headphone jack? And that they dont have space for it, goddamn it, a guy from the internet brings it right back, which takes up much more actual space, so that excuse is kinda useless. Jeez, this is long, i doubt that anyone cares enough to read this all lol
Nah, Apple used to be notorious for having proprietary connectors and only being able to write to storage media formatted in their file system so you couldn't put a file on a floppy on a Mac and use it on a PC. I think there were a lot of things to like about Apple before they switched over to focusing almost entirely on portable devices, but that wasn't one of them.
i read it all and i feel ya. 😥
"Apple back in the day used to ADD features, not REMOVE them" - actually, Apple has a very long history of discarding older features in order to move forward.
When it transitioned away from the 68k CPUs it didn't try and maintain compatibility for newer machines, because that would have compromised its ability to innovate.
When it released the iMac it removed the floppy drive. Conventional logic dictated that the iMac could never succeed without a floppy drive because every PC manufacturer still supplied them, but look what happened.
Apple was also first to eliminate the optical drive, starting in 2009.
Apple has never been slow to remove legacy technology when it thinks it's headed for the graveyard, and so far it's never been wrong to do so.
@@dunebasher1971 except for the headphone jack only phones have lost them many other electronics still have it in 2019 2 years after apple removed it.
you forgot to mention that the power macintosh 6200 had a startup sound exactly like the one we know but instead in d major instead. also the startup sound in big sur is a lot different than that of other macs because the sound is part of the firmware not the OS so even if you downgrade back to catalina you will still hear the new big sur startup sound even if you turned it on back in big sur. the startup sound this time is in f major
Now they brought back the bong in a recent Catalina update.
I have a 2017 MacBook Air and still have the start up sound... Or do you mean brand new products like the current MacBook Pros with touch bar?
I believe Apple started removing the sound with the Touch Bar MacBook Pros and iMac Pros
You have a 2015 MacBook Air, apple hasn't made a new one since then. But they gave the 2015 model a slight boost in 2017 but did not change the model identifier number or the firmware of it from the 2015 version.
Oh okay! Just to make clear though, my MacBook Air is really called "MacBook Air 2017", both in the "About this Mac" window as on Apple's website, but they indeed have the same model number. Its part numbers are different though (support.apple.com/en-us/HT201862 )
@@fjordstrom Your MacBook Air was 'refreshed' in 2017, but still uses 2015 hardware. It still uses ROM from 2015. The chime was removed from brand-new hardware released in late 2016 and later. The new 2018 MacBook Air will not chime.
Can You Do An History Of Nintendo Startup Sounds?
does ken do nintendo videos??
I get why startup and shutdown sounds got removed from Macs and Windows. They make starting up and shutting down slower, and while they used to serve the purpose of telling you the computer is working, they really don't need anymore because most people know how to use computers. Design shouldn't get in the way.
While my logical brain knows this, I can still miss computers being flashy, OSes being aesthetically unique and trying to wow you.
That sound is SOOOOOOO SAD! I just hate it. It's almost creepy, expecially when it gets to get lower and lower for every mac that comes out.
I know, that's kinda confused
You knew it was ready, your Mac was firing up and things were gonna get *done* today.
All mine have the startup chime except one, a 2017 MacBook Pro, and I can confirm the terminal command doesn't work. Amusingly, it's also been by far the most unreliable and inconsistent machine. Co-incidence? I think not ;)
Ahh good we have a Mac mini
When I got a new Mac, I excitedly pressed the Power Button to hear the majestic start-up sound. I was bummed to find out that they don't make a sound when starting up.
On my 2020 Intel Macbook Air, the terminal command circulating around DID re-nable the sound, but its volume was tied to your system volume level so if you had your mac muted or low volume when shutting it down, you wouldn't hear the chime on start-up. Im guessing thats why people thought it didn't work. Its nice that turning it back on now is just a checkbox though.
my favorite is the startup sound for the Macintosh ii
I tried the command on my MB Pro 2017, it asked for a password and i assumed it would be the same i use for login... Sadly it didn’t work :/
Make sure you're using an administrator account.
I am the administrator...
2:53 But if you're seeing this screen, that actually indicates a start up error, and you're likely hearing a scary Chime of Death as well, either after the normal startup sound or even instead of it. So, if you reboot to this screen, you're likely to be more scared, not less, and this is like the opposite of a "palette cleanser."
Normally a Mac OS crash would show an error message with a bomb icon that also claims that the computer must be restarted. That is, if it didn't just stop responding instead.
I just got my first Mac since the Power Mac G3.. I got a MacBook Air 2017 and i had a crash the other day and when it booted back up, it actually made the sound and turned my head real quick and was like.. woah.. I have not heard that in YEARS! (Keep in mind I have updated to Mojave)
Wow!
Lmao it's the little things :D
Well, I’m glad I decided to buy the MacBook Air 2017 model because that one still has the startup sound. Not that I knew that the other Macs did not have the sound when I bought it, but now that I do know, I feel it was a very good choice to go with the MacBook Air because it’s the newest one of them and I’ve always loved the startup sound
Not only should they bring back the startup sound, but they should give the option to choose not just a list of the classic sounds, but an option to add your own audio clip as a startup sound, however it must not exceed 3 seconds.
Because if you could exceed 3 seconds, you could swap in The Microsoft Sound and it would be cursed!
A startup sound might be nice at home … but is utterly annoying in a computer lab, library or lecture hall.
its cooler in our countries
He said, it’s annoying in a computer lab ,library or lecture hall... in our shitty countries tht sound is lit even in the bathroom..
at school in class when u forgot to put it off! I have a Mac Pro and my friend a Mac Pro from 2012 and it annoys the teacher
When Apple remove the 'Apple' from Apple computers we'll all know it's over...👂⁉️😳😙😔
Then...who would buy an Apple computer??? They wouldn't even know its from Apple
Mason Pickett by there design....
@@TheLordOfNothing they'd buy it because it's C O M P U T E R
1:02 The Apple II "beep" by itself is incomplete. The full sound is "beep mmmmmmmvtvtvtvtvt" because the beep was always accompanied by the floppy drive backing its head to track 1 and knocking several times.
You can still bring it back, the initial command people were using was wrong.
To unmute the startup chime:
_sudo nvram StartupMute=%00_
To mute it again:
_sudo nvram StartupMute=%01_
The volume of the chime upon reboot is dependent upon your volume setting, so make sure to turn your volume up first before rebooting. Enjoy!
My computer still makes the noise. Is it hard-coded into computers pre-2016 or were they deleted by updates?
It’s part of the ROMs of certain newer computers.
Thank you very much!
Another proof that Apple is gone. It's not the same thing anymore. They are boring, they computer get less and less attractive (won't take out the fact that they still have a great monitor and trackpad, and fairly good speakers, but even their OS is falling into pieces).
Honestly, with Jony Ive resuming some of his past duties, I think we'll see some better changes in design-even though I think a lot of what they do is okay. In terms of software, word on the street is that QA is a big focus for macOS and iOS this year. We'll learn more on June 4 during the developers conference.
Apple isn't actually gone, though. Just _nice_ Apple is.

Personal favorite startup chime. Quadra 950 with the PPC Upgrade card. That Orchestra chime let you know this beast was being unleashed. Hehe.
I met Jim “Mr Sound Manager” Reekes at an Apple developer do in San Jose in 1993 I think it was. I remember because that was the year the major revamped Sound Manager 3.0 was released.
One of the 65536 reasons why I just bought a MacBook Air rather than anything from the terrible current lineup.
65,536? I see what you did there.
Correction: (1
I never turn even my older Macs off so I never hear the startup sound anyway.
I remember back 20 years ago back in Elementary school using the iMac G3 using MacOS 9 and hearing some of later more iconic startup sound.
Hmm...but the iMac G3 has the same sound as the later machines. What other iconic sounds do you refer to? : o
the one you mentioned to be the last version of the start-up chime that lasted almost 20 years.
Start up sound sound now available for $999 (sold separately)
This is nothing compared to the windows xp start-up sound
They're two different things. The Windows XP sound is in the software-when you log into your user account. The Mac startup sound is in the ROM. You hear it immediately. With a Windows system, you would have to wait. I know it seems insignificant, but it's still a big difference, if you ask me.
(But I still do love the XP sound. Heck, I play it on the piano).
@@ComputerClan What about the sound that Brian Eno composed for Windows 95?
Or how about this version, time-stretched to 4 minutes: soundcloud.com/ideoforms/windows-95-startup-sound
This is why i wont buy a new mac
TheOrangePulley yeah lol I just buy older ones. My main laptop is a 2011 MacBook Pro with an i7 and 4gigs of ram and the only desktop I have is a 2007 iMac with a core 2 duo and I’m about to upgrade to 6gb ram on that. Older macs are just better. They have all the things that are removed on the new ones
It's just a sound. Look at what they've added lul... ^^
And reasons like this are why you’ll always stay dumb 🤷🏻♂️
My favorite Mac startup sound was one that you didn't go into in this video: the underrated 5200/5300/6200/6300 sound. It was also used in several Mac ads from around the time. I've always found it to be very friendly and inviting, while still saying "You are about to use an awesome computer." It helps that there were a bunch of 5200s at my elementary school, and thus the 5200 startup sound was the first Mac startup sound I ever heard.
@0:23 Absolutely beautiful! First time Ive heard the Anniv Mac startup sound…and it’s my favorite as of right now! :-)
The sound is so nostalgic for me I love it
I'm not a Mac person but I do admit that Apple had a nice boot up sound. I understand the nostagia too I think the Windows XP boot up sound will forever live in my head rent free :)
We have Mac Minis in my Broadcasting class, it's so refreshing being the first one there and hearing the startup.
I've written & recorded two songs that has Apple startup sounds in them. I actually got the idea from a Futurama episode where a robot uses the Quadra startup sound when it blows a horn.
Apparently the bong is back in macOS Big Sur!
It’s back on Mac OS 11. This video worked !!!
I’m glad I still have it on my iMac late 2015
terminal startup sound worked on my imac in 2020. the imac was from my job at the time, i use an hp omen now. i feel like it has the cool factor i used to feel from my macbooks. like the black plastic macbook, that thing was rad.
Thanks goodness we not only got the startup sounds back, but we may be getting MagSafe back with the new designs for the upcoming 2021 models! Honestly I can’t wait to see what the next Gen m2 Mac’s are going to look like...
aaa the Beatles where such a good band, let it be was Pauls mother coming to him in a dream and saying "just let it be"
Fortunately, we now have a startup sound that is on the t2 Macs. :D
2:30 HOLY COW!!!!
i'm kinda like that 19-yrs-lasting sound, imagine yourself in a cold night, you have a bulb lamp powered on, part of your room has that yellow tint illumination, a hot coffee by your hand, and you turn on your mac
i mean, hey i'm a Windows guy but i can imagine that feeling, btw i love Windows 2000 startup sound best lol
I like the 2000 sound, too.
My newest MacBook Pro is a i7 of 2009, so I still have the "startup Bong" greet the current Mac session.
Did you know that Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X used to play videos on first boot?
OS 9's intro was simple, and displayed the welcome message in a couple of languages.
OS X Kodiak (Public beta) and Cheetah 10.0 and Puma 10.1 and Jaguar 10.2 all used the same intro.
It changed in OS X Panther 10.3 (which had 2 intro videos, a beta intro and a final intro).
It changed again in OS X Tiger 10.4, which only had one video.
OS X Leopard 10.5 and Snow Leopard 10.6 used the same intro again.
OS X Lion 10.7 was the 1st to ship without a welcome video. That was a real bummer.
It’s back, baby!
in 2021, IT IS BACK. a little different, BUT ITS BACK FOR GOOD
THAT is the origin of the Sosume alert sound? Holy cow I had no idea. That's fascinating!
The sound wasn’t removed. There’s a command in terminal that can turn it back on. I entered it on a 2019 MacBook Pro and it works.
This video is from before the command did anything. The command started working in Catalina.
To be fair Microsoft also did this with Windows versions 8, 8.1, 10, and now 11, not just taking out the startup sound (the most famous one being "Ta da!", but also the shut down sound.
