The original chime comes from Windows 95, Microsoft's operating system released in 1995, where it played as computers powered down and became instantly familiar to a generation of PC users. As retro computing nostalgia grew online, editors began exaggerating its sounds, and bass-boosted versions spread through meme videos, gaming clips and short-form edits as a punchline for endings. It still works because the tune is immediately recognisable, while the added bass makes a quiet goodbye feel deliberately overblown.

A bass-boosted version of the Windows 95 shutdown chime, made deep and heavy for meme edits. Creators use it for dramatic, nostalgic endings to videos.
This clip takes the familiar Windows 95 shutdown chime and pushes its low end far beyond the original, so the gentle two-note melody arrives as a deep, rumbling thud that feels much larger than a computer turning off. The higher notes are still recognisable underneath the bass, but they are almost swallowed by the warm, distorted boom, giving the ending a heavy, almost physical weight. For viewers, that contrast is the joke and the payoff: something ordinary and nostalgic suddenly sounds epic, final and a little absurd, like a system shutting down with far more drama than it ever had.
