Windows startup and shutdown sounds - extremely high pitch
In this video, I play startup and shutdown sounds from several releases of Microsoft Windows. I also play versions, which have the pitch increased to an extreme level in Audacity.
Some notes about stuff that I didn't include:
Windows 2000 has the same sound as ME, so I didn't include it separately
Windows NT 5.0, Windows Longhorn, Windows Server 2003 startup and shutdown sounds aren't included, because they're fan-made or from a third-party sound scheme
Windows 7-10 have the same startup and shutdown sounds as Windows Vista, which is why they aren't included. In Windows 8 and later, the sounds are disabled by default, but you can enable them with certain registry hacks
Windows 11 shutdown sound is identical to Windows Vista and disabled by default, which is why I didn't include it
AFAIK, Windows CE doesn't have a shutdown sound, let me know in the comments if I'm wrong
Windows NT 4 sounds are "hidden" until you enable the audio driver. And yes, these sounds are official.
