Microsoft released Windows 95 in August 1995, and its startup sound was composed by musician Brian Eno, who was asked to create a short piece that felt welcoming, optimistic and futuristic. The sound played every time the operating system loaded, so millions of users heard it daily throughout the late 1990s. As those computers disappeared, the chime survived online as a nostalgic meme and editing cue, instantly signalling the 1990s era of personal computing in videos, streams and retro tech content.

The iconic Windows 95 startup chime that played when the classic system booted up, now used in nostalgic tech videos and retro computing edits.
The Windows 95 startup sound is a brief, rising electronic melody that greeted users as the desktop loaded, built from soft synth pads and a gentle, optimistic chime rather than a loud fanfare. It lasts only a few seconds, but its clean, slightly futuristic tone instantly signals that a computer is waking up and ready to work. For listeners who grew up with the system, hearing it brings a rush of nostalgia for dial-up era desktops, chunky monitors and floppy disks. For younger viewers, it works as a shorthand for old technology, instantly setting a retro, playful mood before a joke or reveal lands.
