As if all the sound effects of the Mac OSX interface weren’t annoying enough, I decided to take things a step too far. Enjoy!
UPDATE: Due to popular demand, I’m posting the GarageBand file I created that’s responsible for this madness. Feel free to have your way with it. Download the zip here. Also, here’s an m4a audio file for those brave souls who want to risk this song suddenly coming on during a Party Shuffle.


This is brilliant. My favorite part is 41 seconds in.

This is what I mean when I say genius bars!
Great ! ( just one question: where’s the opening chime ? It should be considered a system sound, somehow… :-)

Oh, you’re welcome ! Than you for your answer. I’m an editor for an italian MacBlog and I just made an article about you.
Anyway, this piece goes diretly on my iPod in the “to-be-listened-while-repairing-
-PCs-to-avoid-rage-toward-the-customer’s-machine-playlist”
Best things! See You

Cute, but not a patch on the original computer sound music by the User, best seen live.

Someone’d like having Startup chime ?
Download application MacTracker, open the package of the applicaton and you should have it.

Great stuff… I think I like this one better, which is no fault of yours, just that Windows98 had better sounds to work with:

“…Windows98 had better sounds to work with…”
That’s because Brian Eno made the sounds for Windows at that point.

Fantastic, my congrats!! It feels strange listening to it because you have learnt unconsciously all those sounds like ‘bad thing happened’ or ‘check this out now!’ but the melody is beautiful :)
I hope there is a Song 2 in the future to delightfully scare us again :D
