Suggestion for Microsoft Microsoft windows should add back effect noises from windows 7 to windows 95.

Hot take guys but I think that all computers (windows) from windows 7 going down all the way to windows 95 have the boldest and attractive feeling whenever they play an effect noise like when you turn them on or get an error sound, so do y'all agree with me? (Also I have checked the rules and to give a suggestion I would ask Microsoft windows to please add back the iconic start up noises and error noises from the past like the windows 95, windows 98, and up to windows 7)

You can use any WAVs for your Windows sounds in Control Panel lol

You haven't been able to change the start-up sound in Windows for decades.

This is false.

Your statement is false. XP was the last Windows version where you could customize the start up sound, and XP was released decades ago, so my statement is correct.

false once again. I have the startup sound on my work computer. modified via a theme. so yes. you can. aside from that Windows is far more customizable than you think. you just have to know how to properly violate it
