Windows starting-sounds

The visitcard of windows is the music, which will played when windows is starting.

All single files can be found here:

Windows 3.1x & Windows NT 3.xx

Tada.wav called this start-up sound, which is just a second.

The Shutdown Sound: Xylophon.wav

Windows 3.1(1) for Workgroups

Interestingly, the other way around WfW uses the sounds for starting and ending as the normal 3.1 versions and NT. It is the shortest sound with less than a second. Original name Xylophon.wav

Shutdown Sound tada.wav.

Windows 95 (all)

The Windows 95 startup sound is something special. The first time it was not just a simple signal, but a jingle. The story behind it is something with Brian Eno, on a separate page . Duration: about 6 seconds.

Nothing per default, but when installing all audio files in setup and load the default sound scheme you hear the shutdown sound tada.wav.

Windows NT 4.0

Actually, the login sound. Duration 10 seconds.

Windows 98 (SE)

The modern interpretation of the Windows 95 Sound. Duration of approximately 7 seconds.

Nothing per default, but when installing all audio files in setup and load the default sound scheme you hear the logoff sound.

NT 5.0 (Win 2000 Beta)

Probably the strangest sound. Created for a beta version, not used in the final product. Matthew A Felton was an composer. Duration 13 seconds.

Windows Me & Windows 2000

The Windows 2000 Sound is just 5 seconds.

No sound per default. With ME you have to load the non-default `Windows-defaultВґ sound scheme. In Win 2000 the file is present, but not used in the default scheme.

Windows XP

Lasts 4 seconds. Unfortunately there is no information about the artist.

Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 10

Length: 4 second. Watch a Making of Video on Channel 9.
