MSN Messenger launched in 1999 and later became Windows Live Messenger before being retired in 2013 in favour of Skype. Its alert and nudge sounds were heard daily by millions of users during the peak of instant messaging. Clips of the chime now circulate in nostalgia edits and meme soundboards, where it works as shorthand for early 2000s internet culture. It is often compared to a modern Discord Notification or Discord Call sound, but its warmer electronic tone marks it as distinctly from the MSN era.

The classic MSN Messenger alert chime from Windows Live Messenger, the short electronic nudge tone people use for nostalgic notifications and retro chat edits.
This is the short electronic alert chime that played in MSN Messenger when a contact came online or a new message arrived. It is a bright, two-tone digital ping with a soft synthetic ring, instantly recognisable to anyone who used the messenger in the 2000s. The sound is clean, urgent without being harsh, and lasts just over a second. Viewers hear it as a flash of early internet nostalgia, which makes it perfect for signalling a message, a pop-up, or a sudden realisation in a video.
