Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen ThinkBou for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, August 20, Microsoft Windows has a classic boot sound in several previous versions, but it has disappeared in Windows 8.

Today, Jensen Harris, the former project management director of Microsoft's Windows user experience team, unveiled the hidden boot sound of Windows 8 and revealed a more obscure Surface device exclusive voice.

Jensen Harris has previously explained why he deleted the boot sound of Windows 8, when his family welcomed a new baby and decided to cancel the boot sound because he was afraid to wake the baby and his wife when he turned on his laptop at night, and because the computer was the most personal and intimate space.

Next, let's listen to:

CTOnews.com learned that Jensen Harris revealed that the boot sound of Windows 8 was not deleted, but just hidden, and users can find an audio file called Windows Logon in the Windows > Media folder, so some partners may have heard it before.

In addition, Jensen Harris revealed an even less well-known boot sound. When he developed Windows 8, there was a secret team within Microsoft called WDS, which was developing a device codenamed Georgetown, the Surface computer as we know it today.

Jensen Harris said that the normal boot sound of the Windows 8 contains three notes, while the Windows 8 boot sound of the Surface device contains four notes, which is more complete and fuller, but it is not officially used, so let's listen to it.

Microsoft has adopted the new boot sound in the latest Windows 11, and has made improvements in a number of effect sounds. You can learn about the boot sound of generations of Windows in the video below. Which version do you like best?
