Evolution of All Windows Startup and Shutdown Sounds (1993-2021) (4K) 

sounds like a j dilla sample

Absolutely the best! Reminds of my early teens

*RONG*

Windows 95 shutdown can in fact be compared with Windows 3.1's startup sound

Brian Eno ;)

Windows xp was the beginning of the modern era.

@@Kinja_ 2003 was modern times lol

Yeah i remember too but when my computer was too old we needed a new computer :(

Hahaha I know exactly what you mean. It seems so recent how can it be 20 years!?!? 😱 😭😭

Did still remember old consoles?

95 almost magical Nt4.0 pretty trecky-syfy ish

I think the old ones sound a little cringey today. Sure there is the nostalgia factor, but early PCs had this "epicness" and "into the unknown" theme around them. Today the sounds are much more casual and simple, like walking in a coffee shop to work remotely, not before being greeted happily by a good friend.

it dont

Even win 7 startup sound felt novel because at that time computers still had novelty. The dependency on the internet grew so much in the early 10s that it became mundane until this day and will be like this forever.

you have explained this so nicely, this is exactly what I feel

Sure

depends on the era you were born

of course,I still get vibrations just by hearing the open

I enjoyed countless hours at home and at work with XP.....I don't recall having any issues at any time. Sad day the office changed to Win 8. It was indeed their best and most iconic. I now run Win 10 and so far not bad but it hasn't the great feel of XP.

100% Agree with you!!

Brian eno ftw

The pain of not being able to afford a Sound Blaster card and spending a day going through hundreds of 3rd party sound card drivers in the hopes that one would work with the crappy unbranded card you owned. The cheers of celebration when you finally heard that startup sound 🤣

Yessss

And Windows 7 a bit

so true bestie

Yeah, right?

It was the best OS, leanest, meanest, cleanest, most stable, no BS.

Agreed

People mistakenly bought it as a successor to Windows 98, when it was actually Windows ME the successor to 98. Windows 2000 was misunderstood and quite stripped down in places, and buggy. We had it. Skipped ME for XP and it was a fuckin buggy mess. The SP1 and SP2 editions solved all the problems, same deal with Vista. Rubbish until SP1 but most people skipped it until Windows 7 came along. My experience is from studying IT for 3 years and being around Windows systems my whole, though in elementary we heavily used MacOS on the school PCs and played around with Hyper Studio alot, making the text to speech guy on that program read out our ridiculous shit. Back home it was Windows, Playstation, Nintendos and eventually the first Xbox.

@@SPNKr16 2000 was actually one of the stablest versions of Windows I ever used. ME was a buggy mess because the 9x kernel simply couldn't stably support the modern features and drivers it was trying to direct. 2000 was based on NT.

That stereo widening effect blew everyone's mind back in the day.

That and the PS2 startup just evoke pure bliss for about 200ms after it plays.

@@DJ.CR1SP3R How about PSOne startup?? :D :D

Agreed

Yes!

I like windows 7 due to the search stuff in it, but yea windows xp for life

Yes.

Yes Indeed. Windows 10 requires too much computing power without user benefit for basic consumer users. Windows 7 or 8 would still be sufficient.

@@jakolu 8 was total garbage unless you had a touch screen, only used 8 cause I had no other choice. Soon as 10 came along I couldn't upgrade fast enough from the hot mess that was 8, which was made barely tolerable by 8.1.

you forgot ugly as sin

Brings my childhood memories

Yes XP was the best.

Xp xp xp it’s a sound of windows basic it’s normaly

That must be a meme

Obs.

Thank you

NT 5.0 was horrific.

@@bfapple You need to understand that those sounds people think Windows New Technology Version 5.0 uses is fanmade, 5.0 uses 4.0 sounds, also adding that Windows Whistler, Server 2003 and Longhorn are all fanmade too, don't trust everything you see on the internet.

@@youremamajoksrunfuni2257 I never said it was a real sound. Just that the sound labelled as “NT 5.0” was horrific.

@@bfapple I was only saying to give you a perspective.

Windows XP and 7 for me as childhood and pre-teen. Insane how I started using 15 when I was just 16 years old, and used it for work up until I was 24 last year. My workplace has switched over for 11 now, but it's still interesting how XP and 7 left a mark in my which I only briefly used (especially XP), while I used 10 for like 9 years. 10 is a great OS, but lacks the soul that XP and 7 had

I was born on the same year that the windows 7 came out. I remember playing with a computer at around at least 5 years old and constantly hearing the startup sound.

win7 sounds are what I get

0:06 Windows 3.1

Windows 95/98 0:09

Windows NT'S 0:17

@Muadz channel windows 7 its windows vista but better

"Windows 7 nostalgia" XD

windows 7 is just vista. but better

@@zpydd_ Yeah, because the windows vista is considered by many the worst windows of all time!!!

this think too =)

@@miguelstudio-cg5qd "Windows vista is the worst!" Windows 11: *Hold my beer*

2:01*

Yea XDDDDDD

I kinda want to make a pc and get longhorn as the OS so that I can hear the awesome startup/shutdown noises

@@opt1ss they are fake. Try installing Longhorn Build 4074 in virtualbox or VMware, you will hear XP Sounds. Longhorn has XP Sounds

@Grayson Peddie +++

Same

Same

i still have a windows 7

@@moldovanalina3450 why do you use it without microsoft support and many companies's software have ended support for windows 7 as well

@@hamdhikariapper idk to me it still works and i can use it

Same, it was more or less the OS of my childhood. I had used Windows 3.1 and 95 but our first "family computer" was windows 98.

It has such a soothing feeling to it

Windows 98 hits home

same here girl 🥲🤚🏾

Windows Longhorn's startup sound is fake. The real sound it plays is the Windows XP startup sound.

even though longhorn was never available, i recall one of my teachers having the startup sound

XD

It’s 1:44

Relateable🤣

Old meme

@@yourtheking8877 yeah, now I don’t really find this comment funny anymore

This jingle was created by Brian Eno on an Apple Macintosh

It’s so beautifully lo-fi, restrained by the strings of the highest tech dithering they had at the time. It’s a national treasure and a time capsule in itself

I agree! My parents bought their first PC in 1996. It was a Packard Bell model with only 8 MB of RAM. It was my introduction to computers and the internet which at that time was known as the world wide web. I was 18 years old. Indeed Windows 95 is from another time. No social media, no smartphones. It blows my mind to know that I was around to experience the internet in its infancy. When login required dialing your land line phone number into a modem. Do you kids even remember modems? Christ I'm old.

Thanks to Brian Eno.

Also eerie for a little bit but also nice at the same time.

Funny you use the word ‘ambient’, cause the maker of that sound is also who coined that term.

I love Windows XP's because that is the oldest operating system I have ever used.

You‘re absolutely right! My first os I used as a child was also Win95 :)

Yo Mr. MUSK, give me a challenging job in your company

No one's gonna remember Win 10 sounds...

my first was XP but i also like 95

same bro im about to cry

the longhorn was fake though, longhorn builds used winxp startup/shutdown sounds

@@Tomoya778 yeah it was sounds from xp vista theme pack

@@Tomoya778 it’s rather unfortunate that so many channels say the Longhorn ones are real and feature them. Hell, Longhorn wasn’t even a proper OS. It was just a development build for Vista.

my dream is to have a windows 98 I hope one day to make this dream come true

@@insert_username_here They pretty much started over with Vista. Most of features from Longhorn didn't make it to Vista.

Yes Old startup good! But new... Shit But startup Windows 10 not bad:)

MONEY happened (probably)

I think back then turning on computer was something exciting now it isn't.

Also I probably have these startup sounds turn off because I never hear them.

I still use the windows 7 but it broke my pc

I still use them it's really slow but I'm not throwing that computer until it's completely broken

@@GggGgg-sy5xv gotta put ur moneys worth

@@pulse9526 fr

@@GggGgg-sy5xv I remember finding my brother's old windows 7 computer and it was one the best computers at the time but it was slow at doing anything.

Lol I can't imagine how annoying that would be if the announcement wasn't good. "TAH-DAH! Your train will be 20 minutes late."

@@TheColorHopeIsBlue Its actually always late and the even most annoying announcement is when you have to change platforms right when the train is about to arrive. But actually its a modified version of "TAH-DAH", like it sounds better 😂😂

@@bhargaviaryashukla9676 wont be surprised if they say that 😂😂

I think they just copied the sound, and the OS may be different now, because it is played before every announcement. You can't say that a computer starts up and shuts down for each announcement?

And Windows 8 booting sound is "stolen" by China Bluetooth speakers 😂😆

its so loud it sounds like a trains about to hit you

I agree 👍

95 is the best!!!

Because people are born in different eras

I agree 95 is the best

Same here, especially Windows XP

Yeah i dont know out of support but windows 8.1

Relatable

Facts

Same :3 youre Very true :D

Some of their startups and shutdown sounds are so nostalgic

Me to

0:09

I remember when I was younger and I would start up my moms computer to watch RU-vid or play the sims

yea

@@menames184 yeah: 0:09 too

Reminds me of Windows 7, bcuz I never used Windows Vista, it was a sh*t, that’s why people called Sh*tsta

I'm pretty sure Whistler did actually used reverted Windows 98 for some reason on the Codename.

Yeah, the Whistler ones aren't real. They were labelled as fan-made in another video like this one, uploaded years ago on another channel. The shutdown sound is made from an alternate sound type for Windows 7, and the NT 5.0 themes.

Ur right

It was the most musically satisfying for me.

2k=2000 we know all this

...except tape recorders were invented WAAAY before the 90's...

@@emmakawasaki9606 .....but were in vogue till atleast 2000. Post 2000 is when cassettes completely phased out.

there were iven MP$4. Extremally expesive little bastards with small screen you could watch only one movie, because you didn't have much power, nor memory

You were lucky to have a sound card and speakers, my first PC piped audio through the 3 inch internal speaker. I remember playing Doom for the first time with a sound card! That was a good Christmas 🤣

Amazing that I, a 90's kid in Pakistan, had the same experiences.

This was done before windows 11 was released.

That phase shift is amazing

For me it's Window 2000

certified hood classic

ikr, chills :)

HEY BRO NHGCFFGHY,HCHDUH

Windows vista is one of the most beautiful systems in the world

@@Farhad10.000 It still is and has aged perfectly compared to XP all the way to 11. Vista was the most aesthetically pleasing. XP looked like a Fisher Price theme pack for 2000, looks REALLY childish and now really dated - the jarring clashing combinations of blues, greens and reds. I immediately switched to the Media Center theme, and even once tried out a Vista transformation pack because I couldn't upgrade to it. There was even a modified Media Center theme which was darker and came with a New Bliss default wallpaper, like a CGI version of an open field, part real life, part fiction. Things looked great besides XP, particularly Vista. Vista is the most spectacular looking Windows OS of all time, when graphics and appearance are considered. For the time they blew everything away that had ever existed prior to its previews and then its launch. Windows 7 stripped down the graphics but partially retained the appearance, just a boring sequel to Vista though I learned to appreciate and love that one since it lasted a very long time. Windows 95 etc looked like a regular thing you had to deal with, a product of its time. Expensive but invisible and pedestrian. Was not amazing "looking", but looked regular and did the job. We never spoke about the colours and effects, though Vista was loaded with everything - and there never will be anything that looks like it.

Vista was ahead of its time, simply

Add window nt 4.0 in there

0:09

Never existed

The funny thing is that it isn't even from Microsoft. It's from a Samsung theme pack for Windows XP.

Sadly it never was on longhorn, it used Windows XP Sounds

the amount of nerds here to say its not real though we all know

Thank you

I relate to this comment 100%

Agree, we were normal people

OK so this is the real startup sound for Windows 10X: at this link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MsAagGypYJA.html

Longhorn sounds are fake.

@@zacharymartinez9455 No they aren't, it was just a failed project MS came up with to try to succeed XP...

The Server 2003 startup sound isn't actually used in Windows Server 2003, in fact it wasn't used in the UK. It uses XP sounds in all countries. There were no country-specific versions of Windows until Microsoft were forced to make N and KN releases of Windows. Server 2003 used XP sounds in all countries.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Because they are good

Becuz we know, after those sounds we can watch xxx vedio in a hard disk.

Because we can remember old times😔💔

i dont know why win95 intro has a sad, back in time when i used to play DOS games

@@witherstorm4562 same for you, is from a HoloLens trailer.

Same mine is the windows vista/7 startup and it isnt even the full startup sound 😂

the longhorn startup isnt even real mate

Lies all lies!

@@jenniferflanary4682 yes but Windows 10 have Vista startup

Thanks for telling the truth to us all.

LOL thats interesting

bro memories,i had a bootleg fake call of duty tho

Wow these games are so nice memories all listed games especially roadrash

I remember... Being forced to change Windows Vista to 7, because I loved 7 and Vista sucks.

2:27 THAT IS WIN10 SOUND

Why a beta would be soooo nostalgic? Windows NT 5.0 was a beta and it become later Windows 2000 in 2000. You maybe mean 1:08

It's like THX 0:38

Its a fricking beta

It sounds like something you'd hear in Futurama

Yep, it’s a fake sound but it sounds like when the crewmates on among us win

Its was actually used in uk i think​@@fart_jesus_286-_

I'm 12 years older than you. When I was a kid/early teen, the internet was pretty much treated by many adults as some new/dangerous thing. You're used to things like people's entire identity being online, people using their real names/pics online, dating apps being normal. When I was growing up, doing those things were extremely taboo. Only losers used dating sites or made friends online, and you were pretty much warned to consider everyone online to be a weirdo. When Facebook became popular in the late 2000s, the same adults who said never use your real name etc online, were signing up there, using their real names and posting their entire lives.
