The familiar sound of a PC powering on, from the initial boot chime to the system tones that follow. Creators use it in tech videos and retro edits.

This short clip captures the moment a desktop computer wakes up, opening with a soft electronic chime before a series of rising system tones, clicks and a brief whir settle into the familiar ready state. It sounds clean, slightly nostalgic and instantly recognisable to anyone who has waited for a machine to load, which is why it works so well as an opening cue. Played over a title card or a desk setup, it creates a sense of anticipation and a fresh beginning, making the viewer expect something new to appear on screen rather than simply hearing background noise.

Unlike a sound tied to one film or game, the PC startup sound is a generic computer boot-up effect that has circulated for years on soundboards and in editing libraries. Its appeal comes from shared experience: almost everyone recognises the wait for a computer to load, so the clip instantly reads as technology, work or a new session beginning. That familiarity has kept it in use for video intros, short-form transitions, streams and meme edits, where a few seconds of boot tones can set a scene without any explanation.

What is the PC startup sound?

It is a short recording of a desktop computer powering on, including its boot chime and the system tones that follow as it loads. The clip is about five seconds long and is used as an opening cue.

Where is the PC startup sound used?

Creators use it at the start of tech videos, setup reveals, retro edits and gaming content to signal that something is beginning. It also works as a transition when a scene changes to a computer screen or workspace.

Place it over a fade-in, title card or screen reveal and let the chime play before other audio starts. Keep the volume clear but not loud, and avoid stacking it under dialogue so the boot-up effect stays recognisable.
