The startup sound first arrived with Microsoft Windows 95 in 1995, when a short opening chime became part of the daily ritual of switching on a home PC. The original melody was composed by Brian Eno and became one of the most recognised computer sounds ever made. As Windows 95 machines disappeared from desks, the chime survived online in retro videos, emulator clips and soundboards, including regional and novelty variants shared under names like Chinese startup. It remains popular because a few seconds instantly place a scene in the dial-up era.

The Chinese startup variant of the classic Windows 95 boot chime, used for retro PC nostalgia, old computer memes and throwback tech jokes online.
This is the short melodic startup chime associated with booting a Windows 95 computer, presented here as the Chinese startup variant. It plays as a bright, sweeping chord with a calm, airy rise that feels instantly nostalgic to anyone who used a PC in the mid-1990s. Unlike a harsh error beep, it sounds welcoming and optimistic, like a machine waking up. Creators drop it over screen recordings, retro setups and fake system boots to signal an old computer starting, a throwback moment, or a deliberately outdated piece of technology coming back to life for comic effect.
