The startup chime comes from Windows XP, Microsoft's operating system released in 2001, and it played every time the system finished booting. Because XP remained widely used in homes, schools and offices for many years, the short melody became one of the most familiar computer sounds in the world. Online, it survived as a shorthand for the early 2000s, appearing in nostalgia videos, remixes and parody edits. Versions like this one keep the opening recognisable while adding a surprise, which is why the sound still works as an instant retro cue.

The Windows XP startup sound with an unexpected twist on the classic Microsoft chime. Creators use it for nostalgic memes, retro computer edits and jokes.
This clip is a playful twist on the instantly recognisable Windows XP startup chime, the warm, rising melody that once greeted anyone switching on an old PC. The familiar notes arrive just as listeners remember them, clear and comforting, before the sound takes an unexpected turn that stretches the moment out longer than expected. That contrast is what makes it work: the melody is tied to childhood computers, school classrooms and early home desktops, so it triggers instant nostalgia, while the surprise that follows makes people smile, pause and wait to hear how it ends.
