About this sound

The bass boosted Windows XP USB disconnect sound, the classic chime heard when unplugging a device. Creators use it for removal and exit moments in memes.

This is the bass boosted version of the Windows XP USB disconnect chime, the short two-note descending tone that played whenever a USB device was removed from a computer running Windows XP. It starts on a clear high note and drops to a lower one, with the low end pushed hard so it hits through phone speakers. The sound is instantly recognisable to anyone who used the operating system, and it lands as a small punch of nostalgia mixed with finality. Dropped into a video, it makes whatever just left the frame feel deliberately, satisfyingly unplugged.

Pro tip

Cut it hard on the frame where the person or object is removed, and let the lowered second note finish before music returns. Use it once at full volume, then pull repeats back so they still land, and skip reverb because the clip already rings.

How people use it

More information

The Windows XP USB disconnect sound is one of the operating system's built-in device sounds, played when a USB device was removed in Windows XP, released in 2001. Bass boosted remixes of these short system tones became popular on soundboards and in meme edits, where the extra low end makes the chime hit harder through small speakers. Today the sound is a nostalgia trigger for early 2000s computing and a handy meme punchline for anything being unplugged, removed or ditched, from failed relationships to ejected players.

FAQ

What is the Windows XP USB disconnect sound?

It is the two-note descending chime Windows XP played whenever a USB device was removed. This version has boosted bass, so the lower note hits harder, which is why meme editors prefer it over the thin original.

Where is the sound from?

It comes from Windows XP, Microsoft's operating system released in 2001. The disconnect chime is one of its built-in device removal sounds, and the bass boosted mix is a fan-made edit shared through meme soundboards.

How do creators use it in edits?

Editors drop it on the frame where something or someone is removed, like an eliminated player, a kicked character or a deleted object. The falling chime reads as an instant unplug, so it works best as a single sharp punch rather than repeated back to back.
