MSN Messenger launched in 1999 as Microsoft's instant messaging client and quickly became the default way teens and office workers chatted online. Its new-message chime, a short synthetic pop, played millions of times a day during the service's peak in the early 2000s. After Messenger shut down in 2013, the sound lived on through nostalgia compilations, retro tech videos and meme edits recreating old desktop screens. It still works today because a single blip instantly signals the early social internet era, much like the modern Discord notification does now.

The classic MSN Messenger new message alert from 1999 to 2002, a short bright pop chime. Creators use it for nostalgia edits, 2000s memes and incoming text gags.
This is the short notification chime that played in MSN Messenger between 1999 and 2002 whenever a new instant message arrived. It is a bright, quick two-tone pop, barely under a second long, with a soft digital blip that rises slightly at the end. Hearing it instantly triggers early-2000s nostalgia, picturing a humming CRT monitor, a dial-up connection and a flashing orange taskbar icon. In videos it works as an instant time machine, telling viewers a message just landed while wrapping the moment in warm, familiar retro internet energy.
