Listed as an unofficial Windows 10 startup tune from 2015 and credited in its file data to Benny Nubeal, this clip is not an official Microsoft sound. It appeared during the period when Windows 10 was new and creators were sharing their own takes on what a modern boot jingle could sound like. On user-generated soundboards it has been kept alongside other computer and notification sounds, where short, instantly recognisable startup audio works well for intros, parodies and tech-themed edits. Its clean, familiar feel is why it continues to be reused.
About this sound
An unofficial fan-made Windows 10 startup tune, a short melodic chime inspired by Microsoft's boot sound. Used for tech videos, parodies and computer intros.
This short clip is a fan-made interpretation of a Windows 10 startup sound, lasting just under six seconds and built around a gentle, rising electronic melody rather than Microsoft's official boot audio. It opens with soft, clean synth notes that climb in pitch before resolving into a calm, polished chord, giving it the familiar feel of a computer waking up without copying the real jingle exactly. For viewers, the sound triggers instant recognition and a touch of nostalgia, signalling that something is about to start, load or be revealed on screen.
