Windows XP, released by Microsoft in 2001, used a small set of system sounds to confirm everyday actions, and this short rustle accompanied sending a file to the Recycle Bin. As XP became one of the most widely used versions of Windows, the noise became familiar to millions of computer users. Long after newer systems replaced it, the clip survived on soundboards and in online edits, where its retro computer feel instantly signals deletion, rejection or a clean start without needing any explanation.
