Windows 98 and Windows XP were my childhood. Using the computer at such a young age was truly mindblowing. Also, I still have fond memories with Windows Vista and Windows 7 since I used them throughout my high school years.
Windows XP and 7 for me as childhood and pre-teen. Insane how I started using 15 when I was just 16 years old, and used it for work up until I was 24 last year.

I was born on the same year that the windows 7 came out. I remember playing with a computer at around at least 5 years old and constantly hearing the startup sound.
i like that the how the first sounds are more epic and kinda feels like you are stepping into a massive universe, while the newer ones are simple, short melodies which represents how these mindblowing things back in the day became so casual to us
I think the old ones sound a little cringey today. Sure there is the nostalgia factor, but early PCs had this "epicness" and "into the unknown" theme around them. Today the sounds are much more casual and simple, like walking in a coffee shop to work remotely, not before being greeted happily by a good friend.
Even win 7 startup sound felt novel because at that time computers still had novelty. The dependency on the internet grew so much in the early 10s that it became mundane until this day and will be like this forever.
The pain of not being able to afford a Sound Blaster card and spending a day going through hundreds of 3rd party sound card drivers in the hopes that one would work with the crappy unbranded card you owned. The cheers of celebration when you finally heard that startup sound 🤣
The sounds of Windows XP and Windows 7 are just art, the nostalgia of both of them hits so hard... i remember having classes in the school of "how to use a computer" with XP, but also remember my father teaching me how to actually use a computer AND Internet

0:08 is def my favorite. I didn't even exist when this came out nor have I ever interacted with a Windows 95 computer but I get so much nostalgia from this for some reason???
The Windows 95 sound I think is the most iconic and haunting of the group... just seems like its from another time... even though I used it myself from the minute it came out to the minute I migrated to the next version.
It’s so beautifully lo-fi, restrained by the strings of the highest tech dithering they had at the time. It’s a national treasure and a time capsule in itself
I agree! My parents bought their first PC in 1996. It was a Packard Bell model with only 8 MB of RAM. It was my introduction to computers and the internet which at that time was known as the world wide web. I was 18 years old. Indeed Windows 95 is from another time. No social media, no smartphones. It blows my mind to know that I was around to experience the internet in its infancy. When login required dialing your land line phone number into a modem. Do you kids even remember modems? Christ I'm old.

Yes, well, there are better ones, but the video is incredible and for a while I had a sound problem where it didn't sound and when I bought it legally I realized that some things in Windows were failing.
It looks like everybody likes their first os startup sound. For example, I love win 95 startup sound above every other one, especially the very last fading away part in it (listen at 0:08).
Aah those beautiful days. Two independent speakers connected to the motherboard tower, and the 90s startup sounds on that. Felt like we were in the future. It was actually the future, no doubt. Lucky to have been a kid in the 90s and seen all these evolutions, be it PCs or tape recorders to MP3 to iPod to where we are now. Amazing last two decades.
there were iven MP$4. Extremally expesive little bastards with small screen you could watch only one movie, because you didn't have much power, nor memory
You were lucky to have a sound card and speakers, my first PC piped audio through the 3 inch internal speaker. I remember playing Doom for the first time with a sound card! That was a good Christmas 🤣
I always liked Win2K's startup and shutdown, especially startup...it was like musically saying, "It's OK, we've got this, let's do it." Strange, yes, but always felt that way hearing it. Pretty solid OS for the time, too.

0:06 that First sound is still used in Indian Railways during train announcement on stations. 😂😂 We are still using 25-26 years old version in Government offices 🙏🙏
@@TheColorHopeIsBlue Its actually always late and the even most annoying announcement is when you have to change platforms right when the train is about to arrive. But actually its a modified version of "TAH-DAH", like it sounds better 😂😂
I think they just copied the sound, and the OS may be different now, because it is played before every announcement. You can't say that a computer starts up and shuts down for each announcement?
Yeah, the Whistler ones aren't real. They were labelled as fan-made in another video like this one, uploaded years ago on another channel. The shutdown sound is made from an alternate sound type for Windows 7, and the NT 5.0 themes.
I grew up with the Windows XP and Windows 7 startup and shutdown sounds at home. I think it has almost been 8 or 9 years since the last time I saw those PCs since my family started using laptops around 2015/2016
I love how in the 90's and early 2000's they made an effort with the Start Up sound and it just declines after that, like they couldn't be bothered. 😂 i love Windows 95 and Windows XP start up sounds.
I will admit that my personal favourite are the calming sounding boot ups that Microsoft used for Windows 2000/Me. They both sound super pleasant to me.
0:09 - childhood years 1:40 - teenage years 2:20 - college years (Windows 95 has the most beautiful startup sound to me. There is something futuristic and at the same time nostalgic in it.)

Thanks for the refresher. I had forgotten some of those. I was there for 3.1 and 3.11, 95, 98, a little bit of NT, 2000, XP, Win7, and Win10. Skipped ME and 8 entirely. Skipping 11 entirely.
Some people may think I'm crazy but I love windows Vista, I have a lot of fun and happy memories using windows Vista. Hearing the startup sound brings me back. 😁
Inaccuracies found: Windows 3.0 MME is missing since it was the first Windows with sounds. Windows NT 5.0 in this video uses early Windows 2000 Beta 3 Startup sound as Shutdown sound, while in reality it uses Windows NT 4.0 Shutdown sound Windows Whistler here uses fake sounds made from reversed Win98 Shutdown, Microsoft Entertainment Pack Level Up sound, and reversed Win2000 Startup. The shutdown is taken from BeOS. In Reality, Windows Whistler used Windows 2000 sounds. Windows Server 2003 Startup in this video is from a promotional animation. In reality, all versions (including UK) use Windows XP sounds. Windows Longhorn uses Windows XP Samsung Theme sounds in this video, while in reality, it uses Windows XP sounds in both pre- and post-reset Vista/Longhorn Beta builds. Windows 8/8.1 uses unused Logon sound in this video. In reality, Windows 7 Startup was used for Win8/8.1 Startup sound instead. Windows 10 uses sound from HoloLens trailer. Like Win8/8.1, Windows 7 Startup sound was still used as startup sound in reality. Windows 10X should not be included into this video I guess. It uses some Windows 11 error sound in this video. But I guess there are no sounds in Windows 10X.
man the 2000 one just hits different for me, i remember my dad would always start up the computer for me when I was really little and helped me open jumpstart.
i'm 13 so i don't remember anything whatsoever here until it came to windows 7. it brought back some sort of nostalgia or memory from when i was really young and watched those circles swirl around on the screen. my grandparents or something must have had a windows 7 system.
Oh God I'm old! I remember the first time I ever saw Windows, before it was released to the public. I was visiting a colleague in Richardson, Texas. He had a bud that worked at Microsoft. He gave him a copy to proof. It was absolutely amazing. I was still grasping DOS at the time. Most of you reading this don't even know what DOS was! C:/😂
Windows XP and seven are the ones I have an IMMENSE amount of nostalgia! Especially the latter since I frequently went to computer room in my school back in the early 2010s.
That nostalgia hittin' real hard with Windows 95. Used to fire that bad boy up to play some Lego Island. XP reminds me of a simpler time in life. I miss what life used to be before technology took over every aspect of modern day life.
This video made me feel so nostalgic! It took me a while to realise that some of these OS's are just betas, like NT 5.0, Whistler and Longhorn and the latter two's sounds aren't real. But man, what a nostalgia trip
Oh how I loved the Windows 98 startup sound! And it was pretty loud on speakers too (especially with surround), always turned the volume down a bit :D My favourites are 98 and XP, not just the sounds.
The Windows 2000 and Me startup and shutdown feels so special, especially the fact Windows Me was made as a special Windows version to celebrate the new millennium. And 24 years later after 2000... Windows 12 releases.

0:18 I think back to being in a computer lab full of other kids logging in at the same time after the last class cranked the volume on every machine before they logged off.
0:06 that First sound is still used in Indian Railways during train announcement on stations. 😂😂
We are still using 25-26 years old version in Government offices 🙏🙏
Lol I can't imagine how annoying that would be if the announcement wasn't good. "TAH-DAH! Your train will be 20 minutes late."
@@TheColorHopeIsBlue Its actually always late and the even most annoying announcement is when you have to change platforms right when the train is about to arrive. But actually its a modified version of "TAH-DAH", like it sounds better 😂😂
@@bhargaviaryashukla9676 wont be surprised if they say that 😂😂
I think they just copied the sound, and the OS may be different now, because it is played before every announcement. You can't say that a computer starts up and shuts down for each announcement?
And Windows 8 booting sound is "stolen" by China Bluetooth speakers 😂😆
I don't know what to say, it's beautiful. Thank you very much 👍
2:21 good old days, when every PC lagged...
I still use the windows 7 but it broke my pc
I still use them it's really slow but I'm not throwing that computer until it's completely broken

@@GggGgg-sy5xv I remember finding my brother's old windows 7 computer and it was one the best computers at the time but it was slow at doing anything.
I love old versions They are so nostalgic.
Same here, especially Windows XP
Yeah i dont know out of support but windows 8.1
I listen to window 95 and 98 then I travel through time and can breath the air of those beautiful years.
As a 26 year old this is super extremely nostalgic and I miss the old days
1:04 and 1:27 would go together perfectly as a startup and shutdown sound respectively. change my mind.
Yeah, the Whistler ones aren't real. They were labelled as fan-made in another video like this one, uploaded years ago on another channel. The shutdown sound is made from an alternate sound type for Windows 7, and the NT 5.0 themes.
Ur right
Win98´s startup sound is childhood nostalgia.
That phase shift is amazing
For me it's Window 2000
certified hood classic
1:09 I’ve never had the device but that startup is so cute
Most of these videos would leave out Windows ME (Millennium Edition)……Glad this one didn’t forget about it……
The Windows XP and Vista one brings back so much nostalgia and childhood memories.... 😢😢❤️❤️❤️
I must admit my fav ones are 95 longhorn and vista. Vista made me cry because i remembered my childhood.
Longhorn sounds are fake.
@@zacharymartinez9455 No they aren't, it was just a failed project MS came up with to try to succeed XP...
I grew up with the Windows XP and Windows 7 startup and shutdown sounds at home. I think it has almost been 8 or 9 years since the last time I saw those PCs since my family started using laptops around 2015/2016
i had a windows 7, but it finally broke about a year ago. i loved booting it up and hearing that glorious start-up sound...
90s and early 2000's was golden era!
Agree, we were normal people
@@fredcole7683 True man
I love how in the 90's and early 2000's they made an effort with the Start Up sound and it just declines after that, like they couldn't be bothered. 😂 i love Windows 95 and Windows XP start up sounds.
I love computer startup and shutdown sound
Relatable
Facts
Same :3 youre Very true :D
Some of their startups and shutdown sounds are so nostalgic
Me to
I will admit that my personal favourite are the calming sounding boot ups that Microsoft used for Windows 2000/Me. They both sound super pleasant to me.
0:09 - childhood years
1:40 - teenage years
2:20 - college years
(Windows 95 has the most beautiful startup sound to me. There is something futuristic and at the same time nostalgic in it.)

I relate to this comment 100%
1:10 Windows 2000 Professional was in my first computer I ever had. I played my first games and did my first school projects .... So much nostalgia ♥️

Reminds me of Windows 7, bcuz I never used Windows Vista, it was a sh*t, that’s why people called Sh*tsta
Thanks for the refresher. I had forgotten some of those. I was there for 3.1 and 3.11, 95, 98, a little bit of NT, 2000, XP, Win7, and Win10. Skipped ME and 8 entirely. Skipping 11 entirely.
2:21 this is what i am actually nostalgic about because I used to use it
Some people may think I'm crazy but I love windows Vista, I have a lot of fun and happy memories using windows Vista. Hearing the startup sound brings me back. 😁
Windows vista is one of the most beautiful systems in the world
Vista was ahead of its time, simply
So many memories, I can't believe that I've been with these systems since Dos!
I remember when I played games on my dads windows xp but broke his keyboard ..
Inaccuracies found:
Windows 3.0 MME is missing since it was the first Windows with sounds.
Windows NT 5.0 in this video uses early Windows 2000 Beta 3 Startup sound as Shutdown sound, while in reality it uses Windows NT 4.0 Shutdown sound
Windows Whistler here uses fake sounds made from reversed Win98 Shutdown, Microsoft Entertainment Pack Level Up sound, and reversed Win2000 Startup. The shutdown is taken from BeOS. In Reality, Windows Whistler used Windows 2000 sounds.
Windows Server 2003 Startup in this video is from a promotional animation. In reality, all versions (including UK) use Windows XP sounds.
Windows Longhorn uses Windows XP Samsung Theme sounds in this video, while in reality, it uses Windows XP sounds in both pre- and post-reset Vista/Longhorn Beta builds.
Windows 8/8.1 uses unused Logon sound in this video. In reality, Windows 7 Startup was used for Win8/8.1 Startup sound instead.
Windows 10 uses sound from HoloLens trailer. Like Win8/8.1, Windows 7 Startup sound was still used as startup sound in reality.
Windows 10X should not be included into this video I guess. It uses some Windows 11 error sound in this video. But I guess there are no sounds in Windows 10X.
Thank you
I love the Windows XP and Vista/07 sounds, they give me some nostalgia, even though I was born in 2004 😅
I just miss all of the 1985-1998 i would do anything to return to theses days
what
I to My Brain Traveling to the 1985 To See All computers
man the 2000 one just hits different for me, i remember my dad would always start up the computer for me when I was really little and helped me open jumpstart.
Nothing makes me more nostalgic to the point of breaking into a million pieces than Win98 sounds.
I vividly recall trying to fix my PC for days and finally hearing the XP boot sound. That was a glorious day.
windows 95 startup was so aesthetic i like the windows 7 one also
noice video
your videos are a must-watch for anyone looking to learn and enjoy!
Nothing will ever sound better than the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 startup sound :D you just cant beat it.
These sounds bring back a lot of memories
2:32 Ah yes. This one was the second computer I had.
Before this one I had Windows 7. ¡So many memorys man!
THATS OUR FIRST WINDOWS LAPTOP :) 2:27 memories me and my sister we was playing so many games on the old laptop memories :)
I remember... Being forced to change Windows Vista to 7, because I loved 7 and Vista sucks.

I kinda want to make a pc and get longhorn as the OS so that I can hear the awesome startup/shutdown noises
@@opt1ss they are fake. Try installing Longhorn Build 4074 in virtualbox or VMware, you will hear XP Sounds.
Longhorn has XP Sounds
@Grayson Peddie +++
I have never owned any sort of old Windows device, yet I feel nostalgic for the 95 and 98 startup sounds and even RECOGNIZE the Longhorn one..
that windows 7 sound still hits different
OK so this is the real startup sound for Windows 10X: at this link ua-cam.com/video/MsAagGypYJA/v-deo.html
2:40 I have Windows 10 and literally never heard this sound on my computer before. Mine just has the same startup sound as Windows 7/8.
In fact true.
And I don't have 7/8
That’s bcuz it’s a fake sound, is from a HoloLens trailer.
@@witherstorm4562 same for you, is from a HoloLens trailer.
Same mine is the windows vista/7 startup and it isnt even the full startup sound 😂
I have the windows 7 startup sound and i even decorated my pc like windows 7 bcz of it. Also it is the full startup theme
i'm 13 so i don't remember anything whatsoever here until it came to windows 7. it brought back some sort of nostalgia or memory from when i was really young and watched those circles swirl around on the screen. my grandparents or something must have had a windows 7 system.
Win 95 and Workstation 4.0 are incredibly nostalgic some how.
Oh God I'm old! I remember the first time I ever saw Windows, before it was released to the public. I was visiting a colleague in Richardson, Texas. He had a bud that worked at Microsoft. He gave him a copy to proof. It was absolutely amazing. I was still grasping DOS at the time. Most of you reading this don't even know what DOS was! C:/😂
::Bobby Vee died of dysentery::
Windows XP and seven are the ones I have an IMMENSE amount of nostalgia! Especially the latter since I frequently went to computer room in my school back in the early 2010s.
That nostalgia hittin' real hard with Windows 95. Used to fire that bad boy up to play some Lego Island. XP reminds me of a simpler time in life. I miss what life used to be before technology took over every aspect of modern day life.
windows XP... an unforgettable icon of all times...
Windows XP and 7 hits HARD, man...
This video made me feel so nostalgic! It took me a while to realise that some of these OS's are just betas, like NT 5.0, Whistler and Longhorn and the latter two's sounds aren't real. But man, what a nostalgia trip
Oh how I loved the Windows 98 startup sound! And it was pretty loud on speakers too (especially with surround), always turned the volume down a bit :D My favourites are 98 and XP, not just the sounds.
The Windows 2000 and Me startup and shutdown feels so special, especially the fact Windows Me was made as a special Windows version to celebrate the new millennium. And 24 years later after 2000... Windows 12 releases.

Why a beta would be soooo nostalgic? Windows NT 5.0 was a beta and it become later Windows 2000 in 2000. You maybe mean 1:08
