Windows XP launched in 2001 and its default error chime became one of the most familiar computer sounds of the decade, heard in offices, schools and homes whenever a program failed. As retro tech humour grew online, creators began lifting the sound for memes and reaction edits, alongside other classic error sounds from older systems. This version adds a 6dB volume boost, standardised for easier use during live broadcasts, so the chime stays audible over game audio and chat without extra mixing from the streamer.
