Windows 98 and Windows XP were my childhood. Using the computer at such a young age was truly mindblowing. Also, I still have fond memories with Windows Vista and Windows 7 since I used them throughout my high school years.
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.
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 🤣
i like that the how the first sounds are more epic and kinda feels like you are stepping into a massive universe, while the newer ones are simple, short melodies which represents how these mindblowing things back in the day became so casual to us
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.
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.
The sounds of Windows XP and Windows 7 are just art, the nostalgia of both of them hits so hard... i remember having classes in the school of "how to use a computer" with XP, but also remember my father teaching me how to actually use a computer AND Internet
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.
@@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.

The Windows 95 startup sound is sooooo nostalgic, I'll always remember that first computer we kept in my parents' bedroom in our old house, waiting for the dial-up internet to boot up...goodness, what good memories.
0:08 is def my favorite. I didn't even exist when this came out nor have I ever interacted with a Windows 95 computer but I get so much nostalgia from this for some reason???
The Windows 95 sound I think is the most iconic and haunting of the group... just seems like its from another time... even though I used it myself from the minute it came out to the minute I migrated to the next version.
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.
It looks like everybody likes their first os startup sound. For example, I love win 95 startup sound above every other one, especially the very last fading away part in it (listen at 0:08).
I had Windows XP when my brother bought a new pc and basically it was mine from when I was 5 until 16, from 2009 until 2020, but the sound of Windows Vista... That made me cry bc that was my brother's new computer. He let me played at Purble Palace million times on his Windows Vista before he went to university. It's since 2010, the year in which he started uni, that I don't see him anymore as much I did when I was a child, bc, of course, university, then he did Erasmus and now he lives on the other part of the globe and I feel like he's a stranger. The days we were always together are just a distant memory
Aah those beautiful days. Two independent speakers connected to the motherboard tower, and the 90s startup sounds on that. Felt like we were in the future. It was actually the future, no doubt. Lucky to have been a kid in the 90s and seen all these evolutions, be it PCs or tape recorders to MP3 to iPod to where we are now. Amazing last two decades.
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 🤣
@@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.
I love 95 (it’s Brian Eno’s piece if I remember correct) and XP but NT4.0 and especially Server 2003 are absolutely outstanding. These two are best jingles I’ve ever heard.
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.
I always liked Win2K's startup and shutdown, especially startup...it was like musically saying, "It's OK, we've got this, let's do it." Strange, yes, but always felt that way hearing it. Pretty solid OS for the time, too.

0:06 that First sound is still used in Indian Railways during train announcement on stations. 😂😂 We are still using 25-26 years old version in Government offices 🙏🙏
@@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 😂😂
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?
I still remember hearing Windows 2000, and it was such a big upgrade from the Win98 sound. Then XP came along and blew me freaking brains. Sooo many fond memories just hearing those sounds.
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.
0:18 I think back to being in a computer lab full of other kids logging in at the same time after the last class cranked the volume on every machine before they logged off.
I love how in the 90's and early 2000's they made an effort with the Start Up sound and it just declines after that, like they couldn't be bothered. 😂 i love Windows 95 and Windows XP start up sounds.
I will admit that my personal favourite are the calming sounding boot ups that Microsoft used for Windows 2000/Me. They both sound super pleasant to me.
Thanks for the refresher. I had forgotten some of those. I was there for 3.1 and 3.11, 95, 98, a little bit of NT, 2000, XP, Win7, and Win10. Skipped ME and 8 entirely. Skipping 11 entirely.
Inaccuracies found: Windows 3.0 MME is missing since it was the first Windows with sounds. Windows NT 5.0 in this video uses early Windows 2000 Beta 3 Startup sound as Shutdown sound, while in reality it uses Windows NT 4.0 Shutdown sound Windows Whistler here uses fake sounds made from reversed Win98 Shutdown, Microsoft Entertainment Pack Level Up sound, and reversed Win2000 Startup. The shutdown is taken from BeOS. In Reality, Windows Whistler used Windows 2000 sounds. Windows Server 2003 Startup in this video is from a promotional animation. In reality, all versions (including UK) use Windows XP sounds. Windows Longhorn uses Windows XP Samsung Theme sounds in this video, while in reality, it uses Windows XP sounds in both pre- and post-reset Vista/Longhorn Beta builds. Windows 8/8.1 uses unused Logon sound in this video. In reality, Windows 7 Startup was used for Win8/8.1 Startup sound instead. Windows 10 uses sound from HoloLens trailer. Like Win8/8.1, Windows 7 Startup sound was still used as startup sound in reality. Windows 10X should not be included into this video I guess. It uses some Windows 11 error sound in this video. But I guess there are no sounds in Windows 10X.
Can we take a moment of silence for people who didn’t understand that there was a designated place in your home for the computer and internet. You came to that specific space, and walked away. Not today were everyone is so easily accessible to the internet with our phones. What a time.
Some people may think I'm crazy but I love windows Vista, I have a lot of fun and happy memories using windows Vista. Hearing the startup sound brings me back. 😁
I know i wasn't born until 2004 but i know it must have been very special for those who got their first PC or Laptop in 1995-2001. And it probably was even more special, when you could go to the Internet. Today it's just normal to have one
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.

This video made me feel so nostalgic! It took me a while to realise that some of these OS's are just betas, like NT 5.0, Whistler and Longhorn and the latter two's sounds aren't real. But man, what a nostalgia trip
I grew up with the Windows XP and Windows 7 startup and shutdown sounds at home. I think it has almost been 8 or 9 years since the last time I saw those PCs since my family started using laptops around 2015/2016
Windows XP is so nostalgic. The last bright moments of the era when people still managed to coexist with technology, before mutating into a new specie of like-addicted smartphone zombies.
The Windows 2000 and Me startup and shutdown feels so special, especially the fact Windows Me was made as a special Windows version to celebrate the new millennium. And 24 years later after 2000... Windows 12 releases.
man the 2000 one just hits different for me, i remember my dad would always start up the computer for me when I was really little and helped me open jumpstart.
Oh God I'm old! I remember the first time I ever saw Windows, before it was released to the public. I was visiting a colleague in Richardson, Texas. He had a bud that worked at Microsoft. He gave him a copy to proof. It was absolutely amazing. I was still grasping DOS at the time. Most of you reading this don't even know what DOS was! C:/😂
Oh how I loved the Windows 98 startup sound! And it was pretty loud on speakers too (especially with surround), always turned the volume down a bit :D My favourites are 98 and XP, not just the sounds.
IMO, XP was the best even because it was for longer duration and very common plus most of us grew with it and it's startup and shutdown sound is just pure nostalgic 😌
95, no comparison
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 ;)

The Windows lord is rich but i like 95
I relate to this comment 100%
0:06 that First sound is still used in Indian Railways during train announcement on stations. 😂😂
We are still using 25-26 years old version in Government offices 🙏🙏
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 😂😆
God this makes me feel old. I remember playing with MS Paint on Windows 98 as a teenager.
But for some, Windows XP gives me the most nostalgia.
I don't know what to say, it's beautiful. Thank you very much 👍

95 simply sounds magical. Not overly epic or spacey, just calm and special.

I still remember hearing Windows 2000, and it was such a big upgrade from the Win98 sound. Then XP came along and blew me freaking brains. Sooo many fond memories just hearing those sounds.
1:39 Now that's the one that I remember!!!💖
Windows XP sound is a comforting sound. Really nostalgic for me. Simpler times maybe?? This is a great post. Thanks for compiling.
1:04 and 1:27 would go together perfectly as a startup and shutdown sound respectively. change my mind.
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
98 startup is my favorite, it’s so epic and it sounds amazing with headphones, I wasn’t born yet until around the time Vista came out
As a 26 year old this is super extremely nostalgic and I miss the old days
0:18 I think back to being in a computer lab full of other kids logging in at the same time after the last class cranked the volume on every machine before they logged off.
I love how in the 90's and early 2000's they made an effort with the Start Up sound and it just declines after that, like they couldn't be bothered. 😂 i love Windows 95 and Windows XP start up sounds.
Win98´s startup sound is childhood nostalgia.
That phase shift is amazing
For me it's Window 2000

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

Nothing makes me more nostalgic to the point of breaking into a million pieces than Win98 sounds.
90s and early 2000's was golden era!
Agree, we were normal people

The Windows XP and Vista one brings back so much nostalgia and childhood memories.... 😢😢❤️❤️❤️
I listen to window 95 and 98 then I travel through time and can breath the air of those beautiful years.
I will admit that my personal favourite are the calming sounding boot ups that Microsoft used for Windows 2000/Me. They both sound super pleasant to me.
i had a windows 7, but it finally broke about a year ago. i loved booting it up and hearing that glorious start-up sound...
Thanks for the refresher. I had forgotten some of those. I was there for 3.1 and 3.11, 95, 98, a little bit of NT, 2000, XP, Win7, and Win10. Skipped ME and 8 entirely. Skipping 11 entirely.
Inaccuracies found:
Windows 3.0 MME is missing since it was the first Windows with sounds.
Windows NT 5.0 in this video uses early Windows 2000 Beta 3 Startup sound as Shutdown sound, while in reality it uses Windows NT 4.0 Shutdown sound
Windows Whistler here uses fake sounds made from reversed Win98 Shutdown, Microsoft Entertainment Pack Level Up sound, and reversed Win2000 Startup. The shutdown is taken from BeOS. In Reality, Windows Whistler used Windows 2000 sounds.
Windows Server 2003 Startup in this video is from a promotional animation. In reality, all versions (including UK) use Windows XP sounds.
Windows Longhorn uses Windows XP Samsung Theme sounds in this video, while in reality, it uses Windows XP sounds in both pre- and post-reset Vista/Longhorn Beta builds.
Windows 8/8.1 uses unused Logon sound in this video. In reality, Windows 7 Startup was used for Win8/8.1 Startup sound instead.
Windows 10 uses sound from HoloLens trailer. Like Win8/8.1, Windows 7 Startup sound was still used as startup sound in reality.
Windows 10X should not be included into this video I guess. It uses some Windows 11 error sound in this video. But I guess there are no sounds in Windows 10X.
Thank you
I must admit my fav ones are 95 longhorn and vista. Vista made me cry because i remembered my childhood.
Longhorn sounds are fake.
@@zacharymartinez9455 No they aren't, it was just a failed project MS came up with to try to succeed XP...
Can we take a moment of silence for people who didn’t understand that there was a designated place in your home for the computer and internet. You came to that specific space, and walked away. Not today were everyone is so easily accessible to the internet with our phones. What a time.

Reminds me of Windows 7, bcuz I never used Windows Vista, it was a sh*t, that’s why people called Sh*tsta
Some people may think I'm crazy but I love windows Vista, I have a lot of fun and happy memories using windows Vista. Hearing the startup sound brings me back. 😁
Windows vista is one of the most beautiful systems in the world
Vista was ahead of its time, simply

2:21 this is what i am actually nostalgic about because I used to use it
I vividly recall trying to fix my PC for days and finally hearing the XP boot sound. That was a glorious day.
I know i wasn't born until 2004 but i know it must have been very special for those who got their first PC or Laptop in 1995-2001. And it probably was even more special, when you could go to the Internet.
Today it's just normal to have one
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.

This video made me feel so nostalgic! It took me a while to realise that some of these OS's are just betas, like NT 5.0, Whistler and Longhorn and the latter two's sounds aren't real. But man, what a nostalgia trip
I grew up with the Windows XP and Windows 7 startup and shutdown sounds at home. I think it has almost been 8 or 9 years since the last time I saw those PCs since my family started using laptops around 2015/2016
Windows XP is so nostalgic. The last bright moments of the era when people still managed to coexist with technology, before mutating into a new specie of like-addicted smartphone zombies.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
These sounds bring back a lot of memories
The Windows 2000 and Me startup and shutdown feels so special, especially the fact Windows Me was made as a special Windows version to celebrate the new millennium. And 24 years later after 2000... Windows 12 releases.
windows XP... an unforgettable icon of all times...
The way I see it...
1993 - Bright , colorful & cheerful,
2021 - Bland, boring and dull.
What happened?
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.
That Windows XP is so nostalgic, I remember being mind blowed when booting a PC for the first time when I was a kid.
man the 2000 one just hits different for me, i remember my dad would always start up the computer for me when I was really little and helped me open jumpstart.
As you know, the startup sound at 1:48 for Windows Server 2003 was for the UK, and the startup sound for the US is the Windows XP startup sound.
Not true, that sound was only used in promotional material. The startup sound was the XP one everywhere.
I find the old pre-Vista era startup and shutdown sounds more impressive and memorable
Oh God I'm old! I remember the first time I ever saw Windows, before it was released to the public. I was visiting a colleague in Richardson, Texas. He had a bud that worked at Microsoft. He gave him a copy to proof. It was absolutely amazing. I was still grasping DOS at the time. Most of you reading this don't even know what DOS was! C:/😂
::Bobby Vee died of dysentery::
Oh how I loved the Windows 98 startup sound! And it was pretty loud on speakers too (especially with surround), always turned the volume down a bit :D My favourites are 98 and XP, not just the sounds.
Windows XP and 7 hits HARD, man...
2:40 I have Windows 10 and literally never heard this sound on my computer before. Mine just has the same startup sound as Windows 7/8.
In fact true.
And I don't have 7/8
That’s bcuz it’s a fake sound, is from a HoloLens trailer.
@@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 😂
I have the windows 7 startup sound and i even decorated my pc like windows 7 bcz of it. Also it is the full startup theme
IMO, XP was the best even because it was for longer duration and very common plus most of us grew with it and it's startup and shutdown sound is just pure nostalgic 😌
