Windows 10 was released by Microsoft in 2015, and its built-in system sounds included a distinct chime for messaging notifications. The sound became familiar to millions of PC users through everyday use in Mail, messaging and other Windows apps, rather than through a single viral moment. As Windows 10 remained widely used for years, the chime became shorthand online for a new message arriving, and creators now reuse it in videos and streams to instantly signal a notification without needing on-screen text.

The Windows 10 messaging notification chime from Microsoft's operating system, a short two-tone alert that signals a new message has arrived.
The Windows 10 messaging notification is a brief, clean electronic chime that plays when a new message lands in the system's messaging apps. It opens with a soft, higher tone and resolves with a slightly lower one, creating a gentle two-note alert that is easy to recognise without being jarring. Lasting just over two seconds, it feels modern and unobtrusive, like a polite tap on the shoulder rather than a loud alarm. For viewers, it instantly signals incoming communication and adds a familiar, everyday tech feel to videos, streams and edits.
