Just curious, because [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SHmQjt8z_M]these sounds[/url] are often ingrained into people from childhood or daily use.
I always muted them
XP's startup sound is the most distinctive by far, not just because of its use in memes but also how prevalent it was.
Nothing beats hearing the sound of Windows XP's jingle upon a fresh installation on a newly built or formatted PC.
I always dug the boot sound for '98, it gives me nostalgic flashbacks of playing MechWarrior 2 and Apache on my old Compaq.
I'm stuck between the boot sound for 95 and ME. I've never had a computer that ran on either, but they sound the most pleasing to me.
98, XP while great it has become annoying and a shitty meme.
i love the sound of 95
XP is my jam
The 2000/ME one holds the most nostalgia for me. Win98 is a close second.
I love XP but only because I started getting into computers around that time. We had a really old piece of shit that was slow as ass but damn it, it was one of my first computers and I loved every second of using that pile of junk. :cat: Such good memories...
Windows NT or go home: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVYHI1eV1MU[/media]
98 all the way!
[QUOTE=Bradyns;52615252]98 all the way![/QUOTE] 100% agree, all the others sound nice but 98 feels like you're stepping through a portal into a whole new digital world.
I always loved the sounds that Vista and 7 made. They're cute.

I pick the comedy hurr option [video=youtube;5Ogsu51Gz60]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ogsu51Gz60[/video] I do like the 95 sound though. It's among Brian Eno's finest pieces of 3-second music.
98 for life, this was my first OS and i will never forget that sound
Windows 5.0 sounds like a plane taking off. Obv my favourite [video=youtube;mTDd4ZuVQdI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTDd4ZuVQdI[/video]
I like 95 the most
95 not only super nostalgic but also just :thebest:
