The Windows XP startup chime with heavy bass boost, turned into a deep distorted rumble. Used for dramatic reveals, ironic retro edits and loud meme intros.

You know this melody instantly: the bright four-note Windows XP startup chime, except here the bass has been cranked until the low end distorts, rattles and threatens to blow your speakers. The familiar notes still shine through, but every hit lands with a deep, booming thump that turns a gentle welcome jingle into something almost aggressive. It sounds like nostalgia plugged into a subwoofer. For viewers the effect is half comfort, half shock — the warm recognition of an old computer booting up, immediately undercut by an absurd, ear-shaking rumble that makes any reveal feel ten times bigger.

The bright four-note chime that greeted millions of users when Windows XP launched in 2001 became one of the most recognisable computer sounds ever made. During the 2010s bass boosting trend, meme creators on YouTube and soundboards cranked the low end of nostalgic clips until they distorted, and this blown-out version of the XP startup is a classic example. It survives because the melody triggers instant nostalgia while the exaggerated bass makes it funny and dramatic, and retro system sounds such as the Ps1 boot jingle and app tones like the Discord Calling ringtone still get the same treatment.

Drop it exactly on the reveal frame so the distorted bass hit lands with the visual punch, and pair it with a quick zoom. Lower the volume a few decibels first, since bass boosted audio clips hard, and never layer it under dialogue.

常見問題

✦ AI
What is the Windows XP startup bass boosted sound?
It is the famous four-note chime that played when Windows XP booted up, edited so the bass frequencies are pushed until they distort and rumble. The melody is untouched, but every note hits with an exaggerated, speaker-shaking low end.
Where is the Windows XP startup sound from?
It is the default startup jingle of Microsoft Windows XP, the operating system released in 2001. The chime played every time the computer finished booting, which is why an entire generation recognises it instantly.
Why do creators use the bass boosted version?
The contrast is the joke: a gentle, nostalgic welcome melody turned into an absurdly loud rumble. It works as a comedic power-up for reveals, fake system boots and retro memes, because viewers recognise the tune a split second before the bass hits.
