About this sound

This is the short Windows XP logon chime, a bright two-second musical phrase that played when the system welcomed a user in. It feels warm, familiar and quietly triumphant, like an old computer waking up ready for work. Hearing it again brings back early-2000s desktops, dial-up afternoons and the slow glow of a CRT screen.

How to use this button

Play it when a friend finally logs back into an ancient Windows XP machine.
Use it to open a retro computing video and set the early-2000s mood instantly.
Play it after someone complains their new PC feels slower than their childhood computer.
Add it to a throwback montage when the screen shows an old desktop booting up.

Where people drop it

TikTok

Pro tip

Play it only once in an edit, because the second hearing turns a nostalgic welcome into a repeated jingle. One clean play keeps the early-2000s recognition sharp and the joke fresh.

Good to know

Place it at the very start of a retro computer edit, just as the desktop appears, then follow it with the Classic Error Sound when the joke is a PC that will not cooperate, or the Bell Ding Sound Effect when the reveal is a clean, working setup.

FAQ

What should I pair the Windows XP logon sound with in a retro video?

Pair it with a shot of an old desktop, a CRT monitor or a chunky keyboard, then add a dial-up tone or an error sound for a joke about a PC that refuses to start.

Who will recognise the Windows XP logon sound straight away?

Anyone who used a Windows XP computer at home, school or work in the early 2000s will recognise it instantly, especially people who grew up with family desktops and shared computer rooms.
