About this sound

This is the four-second Windows 11 startup chime, a polished digital tone that plays as the operating system boots. It feels calm and welcoming, more like a quiet greeting than a dramatic fanfare, and it gives familiar PC users a small lift of recognition. It comes from Microsoft's Windows 11, released in 2021, continuing the long tradition of distinctive Windows boot audio.

How to use this button

Play it as your desk setup reveal begins to mark the switch-on moment.
Use it when a new PC build powers on for the first time on camera.
Place it before a fresh-start montage to signal a clean beginning.
Add it to a laptop unboxing when the screen first lights up.

Pro tip

Time it to the exact frame the screen lights up, so the chime feels like it caused the reveal rather than sitting on top of it.

Good to know

Place it at the very start of a setup or unboxing edit, then follow it with an app tap as the home screen appears, before any reaction sound closes the moment.

Yes, download the MP3 and set it as your ringtone in your phone's sound settings, choosing the file from your downloads or audio folder when prompted.

Will PC users recognize the Windows 11 startup sound straight away?
