About this sound

This clip is the soft four-note electronic chime played as Windows 7 finished loading, lasting just under five seconds with a gentle swell and clean resolve. It feels calm and nostalgic, bringing back school desktops and first laptops. It comes from Windows 7, Microsoft's operating system released in 2009.

Pro tip

Sync the chime's swell exactly to the moment the screen lights up or the loading bar completes. That precise match sells the boot as real and makes the nostalgic payoff land instantly.

Good to know

Place this clip at the transition from loading footage to the final reveal in tech edits. Follow a hard drive spin sound and keyboard typing sound with this clip, then add a mouse click sound to complete a full startup sequence for retro builds.
