The original chime was the default startup sound for Microsoft Windows XP, released in 2001, and for years it signalled a home or office computer finishing its boot sequence. As remix culture grew online, creators began making earrape and bass boosted versions of familiar system sounds, exaggerating the volume and distortion for comedy. This boosted edit follows that tradition, taking a sound linked to nostalgia for early 2000s PCs and repurposing it as a meme effect that still works because almost everyone recognises the melody instantly, even when distorted.
