\"Not<\/a>Mental Floss<\/a><\/em> brought us<\/a> the work of London-based musician Daniel John Jones who has experimented with slowing down the playback of an assortment of Windows start-up sounds<\/strong>. As part of a project on his Soundcloud page<\/a>, he has slowed down a number of Windows start-up sounds by up to 4000 percent.<\/p>\n

\"Soundcloud\"<\/a>In the case of Windows XP<\/a>, the iconic sound takes on an eerie trance-like tone that lasts just shy of three minutes. Its build-up and dramatic payoff never seemed to make the pay-off when I started up my PC. Listen here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Windows 95<\/a> start-up sound, which lasts nearly 4 minutes takes on a new-agey mood with a sinister edge to it. Listen here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The full collection of Jones’s Windows work can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
