windows nt 5. 0 startup sound

did the universe of windows just start

[sydney]

It's as if the THX and slot machine sounds had a baby.

[feleitks]

This isn't software, it's loudware.

[fukyu]

I could only imagine the nightmares the 90’s kids would’ve had if this were the actual startup sound for other actual released versions of Windows.

[Mettaton]

first two seconds makes me feel like i'm boutta fight the final boss of the internet

[UgolinoV]

One of the longest startup sounds in Windows history.

[ayearoldonyoutubeluigi]

God this sounds like it was actually scary rather than nostalgic. I could only imagine the nightmares or fear of hearing this out of no where while you sleep.

[Br_]

Imagine at 3am u opened ur computer and this sound pops up

[scratchpad]

I swear THX and Microsoft did a collaboration when composing this sound to help Media Center Edition users test their surround sound stereo systems! 😻😻😻

[mrnorthwestohiodude]

All yall think Windows XP's boot sound was loud...

[mat]

I always thought this sounded like a space shuttle launch, now its apparently just as loud.

[webstedge]

I modified my Windows 11 laptop to play this on startup and I swear it's the most badass thing ever

[guedezzz]

Windows NT 5.0:

Made specifically for parents that want to use the startup sound as an indicator to know if their child is awake.

[sirjanin]

What i like about these startups sounds is the fact that they sound like something is turning on. Like a complex futuristic machine and i love it

[MustacheCashStash]

Me at 3am : *getting a midnight snack and trying not to make any noise*
The floorboards :

[randomgamer-bftp]

This is the longest startup sound I've ever heard.

[evanthejesusfreak]

It sounds like you’re stepping into the future...

[Imabluewall]

0:00-0:03 Sounds like a big computer fan startup

[walzvon]

That time when microsoft used earrape for a startup sound

[somewhatsurprisedpikachu]

Imagine sneaking around the office that has been abandoned in the 90s in the middle of the night and then all of the sudden coming from the computer:

[lovelylucas]

It sounds like you just entered a new building
