The startup sound was introduced with Windows Vista in 2007 and was created with guitarist Robert Fripp under the direction of Microsoft's sound team. Windows 7, released in 2009, kept the same chime, which is why the two systems are grouped together online. Composed of layered synthesized tones meant to evoke the Vista aurora branding, it replaced the longer Windows XP startup melody. Millions heard it daily for years, and it later spread through YouTube nostalgia compilations, meme edits and soundboards as a symbol of that PC era.

The Windows Vista and 7 startup sound, a calm four-note chime by Robert Fripp that plays when the PC boots and is used for nostalgic tech edits.
This is the short startup chime heard when a computer running Windows Vista or Windows 7 finishes booting to the desktop. It is a smooth, airy sequence of synthesized notes that rises gently and fades, designed to feel calm, modern and welcoming rather than alarming. The melody lasts only a few seconds but is instantly recognisable to anyone who used a PC in the late 2000s. Hearing it triggers a strong sense of nostalgia and anticipation, like a machine waking up ready for work, school or gaming.
