Apple Mac Startup and Crash Chimes (Includes Big Sur Chime)

In 2014 I made a video depicting all the Mac Startup and Crash Chimes. Now with macOS Big Sur providing a brand new boot chime for the latest Macs, and learning some crash sounds that have never been addressed, here's a new updated video containing all Mac startup and crash chimes.

Intro + Outro Music:
Killing Time by Kevin MacLeod

[guhhh.]

0:19 Nearly There
0:21 Almost There!!
0:24 PERFECT!
0:27 Who started a mac in a big empty room??

The new one has more of a presence. a feeling of power if you will. its just more epic

[ragnarox]

I just restarted with Big Sur and it scared the shyt out of me...

So nice to hear they refreshed the sound after taking it away briefly.

[ghostchris]

I don’t know why, but it’s super eerie that the newer macs literally scream SOS at you

[SPSTheE]

0:19 You are getting there keep going!
0:22 Nearly there...
0:25 Almost there!
0:28 THERE YOU GO!!!

UPDATE OCTOBER 2020: With the introduction of macOS 11.0.1 Big Sur Beta, all non-T2 chip Macs supporting Big Sur from 2013 onwards will have the new startup chime at 0:27 if Big Sur is installed.

0:24 This is factually the only acceptable startup chime

1:11 Game over. Try again?


[YES] [NO]


1:34 Congratulations! Your Computer has crashed!

[AwSamWeston]

Did anyone else notice that all the chimes -- starting with 0:19 -- go down a half-step with each change?

1:03 imagine a little kid is using a Power Mac LC and hears this, the kid: * cries * mOm ThE CoMPUteR gOt aNGrY aT mE 😭😖

[reoccurcat]

Shutdown chimes: calming
1:26: drum solo

[derpydudee]

i miss the one at 0:24 so much, i know a lot of people say the new one is better but imo the old one is still better (definitely not because of nostalgia lmao)

[tookitogo]

The NuBus Power Mac startup chime (00:17) is still my favorite!

[bIurry_bandito]

dont u hate when ur mac updates at 3 am and the start up chime plays at full blast so it wakes u up and puts u into cardiac arrest?? me too🥰

[eeveemeow_official]

1:11 the fact that it’s tempo is slower makes it scarier 😳

[Michael.Gavrielov]

Nice! So basically it's a remastered version of the Bong sound, sounds more bass heavy, might be attributed to the improved speakers? I found it to sound more bass heavy on my 2020 MacBook Air...

[xoruzer]

Fun fact: the first sound was inspired by final chord (e-major) in the song a Day in the life by the Beatles

[movagalbastomp]

0:36 sounds like 747's master caution
