![[UPDATED 2023] Fake Windows Startup and Shutdown Sounds and the real ones](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/SZl0849sCRQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Please check out this video for all of the real Windows startup and shutdown sounds: th-cam.com/video/b8vAAUq5DdA/w-d-xo.html
Edit: Just wanted to let you all know, anyone who says anything in this video is real, is wrong. I have been able to confirm all of these to be fake or incorrect by using the OSes and builds myself.
Also a note, there is no such thing as a UK edition of Server 2003 nor a UK edition of anything. The UK used the American English language for a display language up until Windows 8 where British English was first introduced as a display option. Also, the only editions ever released for a specific region are N editions for the European Union, KN editions for South Korea, and a China Government Edition (only released for Windows 10 as far as I am aware). Everywhere else used the same exact version that the US used except different languages.
Also, Server 2003 is a server OS. Many Server machines either do not have sound cards or never make use of them. Server OSes are for Server purposes, not anything consumer related. So it makes precisely zero sense to make a sound for one country, for one OS that no one on the consumer side of things are going to use. There is a cost to everything and that cost doesn't make sense.
The Windows Server 2003 supposed UK startup sound was essentially ripped off one video: th-cam.com/video/44WeDtVOrns/w-d-xo.html and someone out of nowhere claimed this was the UK startup sound. It's kind of funny how if one person claims something, somehow the majority of people will believe it. And that's because most people do not like to do research, we love quick and easy answers, and this is where quick and easy answers goes wrong.
I had notice that windows longhorn, that incorrect startup and shutdown sounds, came from Windows XP’s, the Royale noir theme. The correct sound is still windows xp startup/shutdown sounds.
It didn't come from Royal Noir. That's a buggy theme by Microsoft, which was never intentionally released by them, but got leaked later on and all it was, was a buggy theme with no sounds. Royal Noir Remixed is what people claim to be the origin, however when I tried it, it only contained half the sounds. Samsung used the sounds in their phones so it is more likely either they or some other huge company produced it. It's extremely unlikely it was made for a theme because there is a huge cost to producing these sounds and the fact that people could distribute these themes for free would make it pointless to spend any money on a theme.
Actually, there is no shutdown sound. You can't enable it without third party modifications. The Windows 7 shutdown sound is in the media folder for no reason at all and sits there unused.
The Windows 10 startup sound was included because you can actually enable it without any sort of modifications needed to the OS.
The sounds that Longhorn used entirely depends on the build. All pre reset builds used XP sounds. The earliest post reset builds used only XP sounds. Half way through the post reset development, they used a mixture of XP and Vista sounds, then at the end used only Vista sounds.
It's in the media folder, but that doesn't mean the OS ever used it. The actual system startup sound has always been in the imagres.dll file, not in the media folder.
The fake longhorn one is a slap in the face, I actually believed it was real
Me too
Glad we know the truth
Maybe everyone believed
It is real, it's a mistake
@@mehdi9555 Watch the video again, or even better, use a VirtualBox and see it for yourself.
Fun fact: The fake longhorn sounds were recently discovered to be from a Samsung theme for Windows XP, released sometime in 2004. So technically, Samsung made the sounds, not Microsoft.
Yes, i know it.
samsung made a phone that used those sounds, it was called sch-i839
@@ardcollectsphones Thanks
Is that why one of the notification sounds on modern Samsung phones sound like its hardware inserted sound?
@@Tranquillow2 Yes, "cosmic radio"
I always thought the Longhorn sounds were real, I remember hearing them in a Windows startup/shutdown sound video that was made in 2007. Can't find that video now but it had them.
Back in 2007, everyone believed they were real. There were tons of "Longhorn" themes being made for Windows XP that had those sounds. I believed it myself at one point until someone told me. Well obviously people can lie but I did test many of the Longhorn pre reset and post reset builds and none of them had it.
benrlego it is possible that it was a fan made startup sound or as Billy said might've been used in of the incomplete themes for Longhorn.
@@jenofjennifer Neither. If Samsung used some of the sounds, it's unlikely it was used by Microsoft at any point or was fan made.
Billy O'Reilly the fact that it could have come from Samsung sounds like it is a plausible explanation.
@@jenofjennifer Yup. I don't see why they would use a sound from a competitor nor a fan of a competitor. Samsung has been known to have used some of these sounds on some of their Galaxy phones.
Fun fact: The Windows XP sounds in build 2481 are in stereo, so they are of higher quality than the ones in the RTM build. After build 2481, the sounds were converted to mono to save hard disk space
That actually is cool, it’s always sweet to find the highest quality versions of an available sound.
Microsoft skipped Classic builds, Indev builds, Infdev builds, and Alpha builds.

I was fooled on the Longhorn sounds, and you really corrected it for me. Thanks, Billy!
No problem. I'm glad that this video helped.
@@Sonicrush007 same,I first believed in all these sounds and thought these were real.Until I saw a video of MEMZ running on Win Longhorn.And i heard the win xp error and warning sounds,which was weird since the sounds I believed in were totally different.It just annoys me people saying,"I cAn 100% tElL tHe LoNGhOrn sOUnDs aRE rEaL."Like,seriously?Have they even tested the OSes themselves?Like,they believe in people like Windows Expert,who looks like a 2 year old kid thinking all the research he has done is real while it is not.(No offense to Windows Expert)
Yeah. I at one point believed them too. If you watched my earliest Windows startup and shutdown sounds videos from 2012-2013, I put the Longhorn sounds in there because I just didn't know. Good thing the videos were poorly done because they didn't get many views. My more modern videos like this are becoming more popular and I am happy with that because the truth is getting out there.

"Trident" is actually product name of Microsoft but not OS's. It is the codename of rendering engine behind Internet Explorer. (aka MSHTML)
I'm glad to know that the Windows NT 5.0 startup sound is real. I use it as my Windows 10 startup sound and I feel like I'm on a rocket mission every time I use my laptop.
Okay, but can we all take in the sheer hilariousness of the Windows MFE art?
Sure

ikr its literally windows me with an f in the middle
Its a joke OS that doesnt really exist beacuse ME was simply Windows 98 except even worse i guess
@@vannillaAJofficial204 Windows 98 ZE (Windows 98 zeroth edition, and zeroth isn't a word)
This man is a legend
He took all of these idiots with their fake ass sounds and put them in the bin
“there was no project by microsoft under the code name ‘trident’.”
yes there is, but it is just the IE engine
It was probably meant to be "Triton", which was a codename for an OS that was going to succeed Neptune. Since Neptune itself didn't have much of a development cycle, Triton didn't really achieve much either. Trident and Triton do look and sound quite similar, so the person making that fake OS might have mixed them up. Hence why that bootscreen refers to a project that wasn't an OS.
good that there is a person like you. thanks to you some may find out that some windows are fake
I always wondered why there were so many discrepancies between videos, turns out some sounds were fake or incorrect. So, thanks for this video and for all the extra info, very informative!
Indeed. Thanks for watching the video!

@@caidinjohnson Thanks for the info!
Wow you really point this all out until I finally realize that all of these startup and shut down sounds are fake. I appreciate it Bill O'Reilly!

Pretty interesting video, i was so intrigued by windows startup and shutdown sounds when i was a kid
Everytime I watch your old videos made from 2014-2019 gives me hard nostalgia... I've been watching you since 2015
I appreciate that! Thanks for staying for so long.
@@Sonicrush007 no problem.
Thank you for the clarification. It's really helpful to people, including me. I'm glad you posted this video. :-)
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
3:15 These sounds actually originate from a custom royalty-free Windows sound scheme by NEOSounds called Deep Fantasy. Fans just used these sounds in unofficial Vista- and Longhorn-style themes for Windows XP.
How can you clarify, actually? The last time I go to the website via wayback machine, it doesn't play even I accept permission to use flash. And as addition, it doesn't have the infrared sounds on the list...
@@reychandor452 An unofficial Windows XP theme known as Longhorn Refined had these sounds, and they cited the NEOSounds Deep Fantasy Sound Scheme as a sound source.
The title of the audio files do match up, so I think that is a reason to believe those are the sounds.
There is one issue however. According to this beta archive forum: ( www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36294 ) someone found that the sounds were reuploaded to Archive.org and someone mentioned how I brought up about the August 2003 date on my channel at one point, but according to Neo Sounds, the sounds copyright date was 2004-2005. Someone on Archive.org uploaded them as "Longhorn Redefined Sounds" and put the Neo Sounds link in the description, but also used the 22 August, 2003 date as the publication date.
I don't know a whole lot about the Neo Sounds website, but maybe the sounds really were created in 2003 and someone else made it or maybe there was some sort of lag between when they made it and when they uploaded it?
@@Sonicrush007 So you can't play the sound as well? I think the 2004-2005 is the website's copyright, not the sound pack... Also I saw the list again there's some events such "Minimize", "Restore", "menu Pop-up", in which the actual pack doesn't have one. So I still don't believe in that, I still believe that it might a theme pack released in 2003.
About the archiveorg, inside the zip file, there are some newer sounds that's not 2003, like the XP's information bar, you also might be fooled by the word "by Neo Sound", because I think uploader may name "Neo Sounds" in the something like creator section, some incidence also came from beta build uploader anonimas by having a typo "Microdoft", so if you want to see who uploaded it, there's something says "Uploaded by".
Yeah. I saw that upload date earlier so I was skeptical as a result. Not to say that I really believe 100% that it's true, but I found the titles matching to be a reason.
I'm so glad that you are dedicated to being as accurate as possible with these videos, unlike other people. Worth a subscription!
I know it is 2020, but thank you for making me more aware about fake Windows startup sounds. A lot of the videos on the internet are badly researched and have a lot of fake startups.
Don't worry about it being 2020, it's never too late to learn anything. Thanks for enjoying the video!
If anyone need to know, the real Windows 10 startup sound is the Windows 7 and Vista startup sound, I know this as I have the setting on Windows 10 (as of Version 20H2), and as of 20H2, Windows 10 uses the Windows 7 Startup sound, however it is not enabled by default. You need to enable that one manually on the Windows System Sounds (Sounds Control Panel) settings from the control panel.
As of now it's just a little blip (21H1)
@@badcatalexit is the Windows 7 sound cuz I have Windows 10 with 22H2
And it finally got changed in Windows 11
The Cringey stuff on Devianart about Os and too much Sonic or MLP or any other similar stuff on this topic overshadows it so much sadly, especially with the fake Windows Whistler Startup/Shutdown sounds
what
That's perfectly nice! Now i know what is a fake and a real sound
Before people were thinking that NT 5.0’s shutdown sound was the 2000 Beta 3 startup sound, they were thinking that the shutdown sound was the NT 5.0 startup sound in reverse.
People also thought that Chicago used the 95 Startup Sound and that Memphis used the 98 sounds.
The truth is, most OSes use the previous OS’s sounds until near the end of development.
NT 5.0 Shudown use NT 4.0 Shutdown
Nintendo 64 I know, I was just pointing out that people also incorrectly guesses that the NT 5.0 shutdown sound was the startup sound in reverse.
I thought of that but when I saw this video… omg so many windows facts and I finally realised that windows 5.0 shutdown was windows NT 4.0 shutdown sound which was very weird and confusing to me
Forgot to mention: In 2011, a year before Windows 8 came out, there was a Windows Startup and Shutdown Sounds video I watched, that claimed that he had the sounds for Windows 8, instead of using the Vista/7 sounds, he took a recording of someone farting, like why? Microsoft would never do that for their Operating Systems.

Even though that Server 2003 startup sound is fake, it does sound really nice.
i'm actually loved tthe fake whistler startup sound :)
Finding out that some of these startup sounds are fake is like finding out Santa Claus isn't real. Childhood ruined
Specifically, the Windows Server 2003 and Longhorn sounds I thought were real and even set as my startup sounds to my own computer when I was a kid.
I Love Windows PCS! Love Your Infomation! 👍👍👍👍
Great Video Dude!
for those who don't know:
pls listen:
*The windows 98 logoff sound reversed as mentioned is actually accurate.*
Took a long time to respond since I never got the notification, but I'm assuming that you're referring to the fake Whistler sound. That sound is 100% confirmed to be fake and I made a video on how it was put together. Throughout Microsoft's history of system sounds, they have NEVER combined sounds from three different projects (two OSes and one audio file from a game) and put them together. They've always either reused sounds or made new ones. I've used the Whistler builds myself and I know what sound each build used.
@@Sonicrush007 Plus, Microsoft would never produce a startup sound that sounds so weird and stupid.
If you're talking about the Whistler startup sound, then you're wrong. Microsoft in no way would combine sounds or even steal sounds from other operating systems not owned by them for a specific alpha or beta OS.
@@MrQuinnzard yeah they never steal sounds from there company
When I said Microsoft Odyssey it made me think of super mario odyssey
I knew someone was going to say this. 😂
Or Assassin's Creed for that matter.
@@Sonicrush007 So do I.😅
Same.
@@sebbef Same haha
Thanks for this video. At first I thought that these sounds where the original sounds but now I know that they are fake.
The ones that blew me away the most were Whistler, server 2003, and longhorn
I really want to know the true origin of the fake Windows Longhorn startups and shutdowns, they sound very beautiful and aesthetic
Earlier this year, I was sent this link: archive.org/details/virtualboxvmtest17032020212452
What was shocking was the link that was provided in the description of this download which was the archived website of NeoSounds from 2006 (sounds were sold on the site many years before that): web.archive.org/web/20060103094311/www.neosounds.com/sound-schemes.php
I am being told that the sound scheme was called "Deep Fantasy" which is what is on the link, but the sounds cannot be played due to the method in which the media was implemented on the website at the time and maybe also how archive.org archives the website, but it has been confirmed by many others that this is the legitimate origin of the sounds. These were sounds being sold online and probably no longer sold anymore because people kept reuploading it everywhere else and so it wasn't profitable to sell them anymore as a result.
So it is indeed confirmed that Microsoft had no association with the sounds at all because Microsoft always produces their own sounds. They never buy sounds from third parties.

Trident may be fake, yes, but there was a project that never made it off the planning board called Triton. You can find it on BetaWiki. It was meant to be an update to Neptune.
I read about that very recently. I was actually shocked that they were actually going to make it. The thing though is that people claim that Trident existed. It did not.
This video needs more views
This video was too recent to get thousands. In a month or so, it'll blow up and get ten thousand in the next 10 months. That's what usually happens each time.
@@Sonicrush007 Hopefully it happens, cause it triggers me when i hear the fake Whistler and Longhorn sounds in All Windows Startup/Shutdown sounds videos. From now on whenever i wanna see these types of videos, i'll watch from your channel. Too bad that the Windows 95, 98, XP Plus! sounds steals the show in your version. But then again, you have to include them all ;)
@@Mickelraven I understand that part with the Plus! sounds. I just skip them when I'm bored and feel like watching my own videos. In All Windows Startup and Shutdown Sounds videos, it's a rule to have all of them. I made my video so it could be as accurate as possible and show off how much more effort I put in than anyone else. I have actually impressed other channels that make these videos that intended to be accurate but included fakes because they thought that they were real.
For those videos with the fake sounds, there's nothing that can be done to get more views on my videos than those. I could just advertise my video on a bunch of those videos' comments sections but that would be rude and most likely, the comment would be removed.
@@Sonicrush007 Yeah
@管理者 No, they automatically went into pend for approval and I decided to not approve them because of your poor language and how you are literally insulting me and other people. You've been blocked.
Windows 98 startup & shutdown sounds were used in Windows ME until build 2470, it was replaced with Windows 2000's ones in build 2476
The one who fooled me is Windows Server 2003 UK, thanks mate!
Longhorn, Server 2003 (UK) and Whistler sounds are the most notable hoaxes. Same with Windows 8

Although it's fake, it sounds very...... Heavenly....
I made it as my log on sound on windows 11
One time I tested out a Windows Vista beta 2 build hoping I would hear the fake startup sound but instead I heard XP sounds so then I immediately knew it was fake
Now, Windows 11 now has a proper startup sound.
I remember the first time I heard the Windows Whistler fake startup sound that it was kind of odd, but I trusted that it was the real one.
I don't know why, but the fake shutdown sound for Windows NT 5.0 sounds more fitting that the NT 4.0 shutdown sound
Fake sounds or not, the longhorn sounds showcased as fake are beautiful

Just an extra tidbit, the Windows ME CD will play the 98 startup sound if you run it on a PC with Windows already on it
Hey, I’ve noticed you had been testing Windows systems on your channel through a Virtual Machine. I want to try that as well, but I’m not sure if it’s safe, or if my laptop would support it. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 from 2018, with 1TB full memory, but 400 GB in use. I just need to know if it’s safe for my PC to run a Virtual Machine.
Nothing can go wrong with using a VM unless you do something really stupid or use a program that leads to malware that will spread across the whole network. If you're not doing anything stupid like trying to run malware unprepared, you'll 100% be okay. Pretty much any PC can do VMs. Emulating through PCem isn't the same though. You have to have a pretty good PC to emulate at a fast clock speed for some OSes.
You should be just fine though. The PC I used from August 2016-June 2019 was a laptop with a dual core Intel Core i5-6200U (CPU model very similar except mine is a gen older and had a slower clock speed), with 8 GB of RAM, 1 TB SSD (installed on August of 2018 originally had a 1 TB 5400 rpm HDD). From that time period, my videos were done 100% on that laptop, including recording. I really can't see why your laptop would not be able to do it. Go ahead and enjoy it. Just don't test viruses at all if you're afraid of screwing up with it. I do recommend testing new programs that you feel cautious about in a VM. That's what I use them for when not doing videos.
Yeah, I did switch laptops and mine does a much better job at tasks than my old one. I posted the specs of my new gaming laptop on the about page of my channel in case if you were interested in seeing what it is. It's an Asus ROG laptop.
Also, be careful of where you get your .ISO images. Some you find in the wild may contain malware. Please try to stick with winworldpc.com I use them because their images are 100% safe.
Billy O'Reilly thank you
I'm using a old ThinkPad from 2012 with 4gb ram and all my vm's run perfectly!

Actually, the Windows 8/8.1/10 Startup Sound Uses Windows 7 sound if you Enabled it. But this will be played if you restart your PC, You Remove the Power from Laptop or Battery, and Disabling Fastboot while the Startup sound is located in imageres.dll since vista
@@ThatRandomToast oh i did that
What is even the point in making fake sounds? Advertising that OS?
The version of windows whistler where it had the windows 98 logoff sound has a part in the startup sound that sounds like windows 2000's startup sound but reversed and modified.
The “modified” windows 2000 sound is the windows 2000 beta 3 builds 1983-2000 startup sound
You have done accurate research, Billy. Well done.
this is why WNR is the dumbest thing ever. many WNR videos will also include real OS's with their real startup sound, so some people that think a real OS but a fake startup sound actually has the real one instead of the fake, a common sense of miscommunication.
Not only WNR.
@@Fyodor71Rus-Tula You're right. Many other fan made sounds get confused for the real ones, causing a majority of the fakes.
The windows 8 sound was in Windows 8's default sound scheme as the logon sound, although it was never implemented. The SAME sound is present as the logon sound in Win10 though, but same as Win8, it was never implemented.
Interesting video. Ive always wondered where the fake startup sound for number 17 actually comes from, obviously it isn’t any version of Windows Longhorn lol.
I heard it came from the Windows Vista Beta tutorials. I may look into that sometime to verify whether or not it is true.
Thanks Bill. I also found out that some sounds were fake because I used a lot of Windows versions in virtual machines.
2:52 I'm pretty sure trident is code name for internet explorer, but that has nothing to do with windows
Windows shell sounds (including the startup sound!) are somewhere in the WinSxS folder, however all subfolders of WinSxS have long names.
It's c:\windows\media folder. I have no idea what WinSxS folder is for to be honest but it seems that some files are copied there.
Windows shell? Woah I googled it and it was hidden in a file
Windows 10 also uses windows 7 startup sound in startup, just now enabled by default. I have build 1903 (latest update for windows 10) so yea but idk for versions prior to 1903.
Official or not, the startups and shutdowns really have a nice sound
I can confirm this is real, I own many longhorn and vista builds and those 2 I never heard when testing them
I am going to make a video that shows the real startups and shutdowns that will be accurate. Thank you for making this video and showing the truth!
I clicked the option to enable the start up sound on my alienware windows 10 laptop and it plays the Windows 7 log on sound, which I find odd.

I thought AlphaBetas was real up until I got it. It had some windows logos that weren’t entirely transparent and had some white/gray blotches in the background. And also I didn’t find any wikis taking about AlphaBetas. But I think it has a cool logo, that collage of different windows logos. I was tricked by Windows Trident but it doesn’t surprise me. Longhorn was a big surprise though. Fake 5.0 shutdown sound sounds better IMO.

Out of the two, Windows Vista and Windows 8's startups were definitely prototype startup sounds. One could've been used in an early unreleased prototype/beta (it was used on a help video) and the other can actually be found through digging through the files. Half of these startup images are just fanmade jokes anyway
As for that supposed Vista beta sound, it was used for the tutorial not as a startup sound throughout development.
As for Windows 8's startup sound, it was never used though it was intended to be used as such according to a well known former Microsoft Employee who release a video a week or two ago about the sound.
where did the longhorn startup/shutdown sounds come from then?!
A website sold the sound scheme (named "Deep Fantasy") for about $10 from 2003 until sometime after 2006.

3:48 Windows 8-11 have shutdown sound in Windows files (the same as Vista and 7) but they are unused
1:43 there ARE some references to Neptune Server in a few setup files of Neptune, though it could be a rebranding transition. the boot screen is still fake though
Do you have a source or a filename for that? Sounds weird because Neptune was intended for home use while Odyssey was intended for business use.
@@Sonicrush007 BetaWiki confirms that there are Neptune Server references in a few setup files. Plus the "configure my server" wizard is still present from Windows 2000 Server
@@Soulfur Hmmm... I see. That's pretty interesting. My guess would be that Neptune is based off of a Server edition of Windows 2000 as it was definitely built off of Windows 2000.
@@Sonicrush007 possibly. After all, it was built on the RC1 build of win2000 (2128)
@@Sonicrush007 Plus, there are some Servers intended for home use, like Windows Home Server 2007 so that can't be the excuse, but the bootscreen is unconfirmed, meaning that for now, its safe to say that the bootscreen and the edition that is "leaked" fake.
Wow! Thanks! I thought Powered, Trident, and AlphaBetas were real
No problem! I'm glad that you know now.
@@Sonicrush007 Besides, I am making a fake downgrader on my computer to some real and fake OSes
2:59 Fact: The startup sound of Windows Server 2003 is from an animation (I don't know if it's official) from Microsoft. It is an animation where the Windows logo is created something like this
Subscribed.
2:39 I always believed it's real startup sound....
I found the Windows Powered bootscreen in 2000 Professional's ntoskrnl.exe (bitmap 9). There's also, interestingly, two Server Family bootscreens (one with copyright 1985-1999, the other 1985-2000). The colours do differ slightly from the ones in the video though.
Odd to find that in 2000 Professional. I’ll look into that sometime.
@@Sonicrush007 I think every Professional version of Windows has Server branding hidden; I also found references to Whistler Server in XP.
@@ephemeralViolette Like how there's weird bits of Windows ME art in XPs files
@@aaronprucha7112 If I'm not mistaken, those are just leftovers from Whistler's development prior to the logo change.
@@ephemeralViolette and Home edition Windows Neptune build 5111 have windows 2000 server bitmap
I've been fooled all the time thinking the Longhorn sounds were real
Well researched. I replaced all my Windows 8 sounds with these in 2013 not knowing the truth!
3:16 aww man😭😭😭😭
1:54 did anyone notice 1999 at the bottom of the boot screen go in fullscreen to see
its not made before 2000 2000 rtm was december 1999 and general availability on february 2000
These sounds looking great for a Windows system.
