Windows startup and shutdown sounds - extremely high pitch

MarkusTegelane

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.
