Startup Chime Sound Effect

📝 Description

The startup chime is a device introducing itself — that welcoming swell of notes as a machine boots from silence into readiness. Computer history gave these chimes real cultural weight: entire generations can identify their childhood by which boot sound they heard after school. Use it to open tech content and setup videos, to score morning-routine edits where a person powers on alongside their machines, or ironically when someone boots up slowly themselves — first coffee, eyes half open. It signals fresh starts of every kind. Every session begins somewhere; this chime is the official doorway.
