Over dit geluid

This is the short Windows startup chime, a bright four-and-a-half-second melodic jingle that plays as a computer boots. It feels nostalgic and reassuring, like an old desktop coming back to life after years away. The sound comes from Windows, where it marked the start of a session on a personal computer.

Pro-tip

Wait for the blank screen to change, then let the chime land as the desktop appears, so the gag feels like a real boot instead of a sound dropped into a video at random.

Veelgestelde vragen

Can I save the Windows startup sound as a ringtone?

Yes. The MP3 can be set as a ringtone in your phone settings, where you can choose it for calls or alerts and hear the familiar boot chime whenever someone rings you.

What should I pair with the Windows startup sound in a retro PC video?

Pair it with an error sound after a failed boot, then a cheerful ding when the desktop finally loads, so the short scene moves from hope to failure to a working computer.

Will younger viewers recognise the Windows startup sound?

Many will not know it from their own computer, but the retro desktop imagery around it gives the context, and older viewers will recognise it at once as the start of a Windows session.
