Windows Longhorn was the development codename for what became Windows Vista, and many of its polished interface sounds circulated online long after release as standalone files. This clip appears under the filename Samsung IR_BEGIN in sound packs, suggesting it was bundled as a start signal for an infrared device rather than a main startup theme. Shared on soundboards alongside a simple ding sound effect and a classic error sound, it survived as a niche retro PC cue that editors still reach for when they want an authentic mid-2000s computer feel.

Short Windows Vista system chime known as Samsung IR Begin from the Longhorn era. Creators use it for retro PC, startup and tech error edits.
This is a brief, clean system sound lasting under two seconds, with a soft electronic chime that rises and settles like a device waking up and confirming a connection. It has the polished, glassy tone associated with Windows Vista and the earlier Longhorn builds, less harsh than an alert and more like a quiet notification that something has started. Played on its own it feels nostalgic and oddly satisfying, while dropped into a video it instantly signals a computer booting, a remote linking, or a piece of old tech coming back to life for a joke.
