Microsoft introduced a new calm startup chime with Windows 11 in 2021, paired with a longer ambient intro used in the out-of-box experience setup video. The sound quickly became familiar to PC users, and editors began uploading altered versions, including slowed, reverbed and bass boosted edits. The bass boosted cut leans into meme culture around overpowered audio, where familiar system sounds are made comically heavy. It now circulates mainly as a punchline for tech videos rather than as a genuine system sound.
About this sound
The bass boosted version of the Windows 11 startup chime with the OOBE intro swell. Creators use it for PC setup videos, tech memes and dramatic login reveals.
This is the Windows 11 startup sound pushed through a heavy bass boost, including the soft OOBE intro swell that plays during first-time setup. The familiar glassy chime still rings on top, but underneath it hits with a deep, rumbling low end that you feel more than hear. It starts calm and airy, then swells into something much bigger and more cinematic than the original. For viewers it turns a routine login into a moment, equal parts nostalgic and overpowered, which is why tech editors love dropping it under setup montages and PC build reveals.
