The classic Windows XP startup chime from Microsoft's 2001 operating system, often used in memes, nostalgic edits and old computer themed videos.

This sound is the familiar startup chime heard when Windows XP boots up: a soft, airy synth swell with a clean, uplifting finish. It lasts only a few seconds, but it instantly signals early 2000s computer nostalgia for many listeners. The tone feels calm, polished and a little futuristic in that pre-smartphone way, which makes it great for edits that reveal something loading, unlocking or flashing back to an older internet era. Viewers usually recognize it immediately, giving the moment a cozy tech throwback feel.

The Windows XP startup sound comes from Microsoft's Windows XP operating system, released in 2001. It became one of the most recognizable computer boot sounds of the early 2000s because millions of people heard it at home, school and work. Long after XP faded out, the chime kept circulating in memes, nostalgia compilations and retro tech videos. It is still used as a quick shorthand for old PCs, internet throwbacks and classic desktop culture, often alongside Windows XP error music in edits about vintage computing.
