The Microsoft Sound

The Microsoft Sound

The Microsoft Sound is the name for the default sound that is played when Microsoft Windows starts. Starting with Windows 3.1, the startup sound was a simple "tada" chord (tada.wav). By Windows 95 it was a more complex six-second sound written by Brian Eno (The Microsoft Sound.wav).
