Windows 7 launched in 2009 and its short startup sound became one of the most recognised PC sounds of its era. In meme editing, creators began bass boosting familiar system sounds, exaggerating the low frequencies until the clean chime turned distorted and absurdly powerful. That treatment spread through YouTube and short video edits alongside other boosted effects, where the joke is the contrast between a mundane computer noise and a cinema style impact. The clip remains popular for tech fails, fake errors and nostalgic Windows references.
