The current Ubuntu startup sound sounds like a toddler attacking a cheap Casio keyboard with a rattle. It's embarrassing. The dapper sound is much better.

The best startup sound is no startup sound

This ad infinitum.

Sure, but the point is that if there's going to be a start-up sound, it should not be embarrassingly lame.

@DoctorLard, you woke up a two year old thread, it wasn't happy, so I split your comments off to a separate thread.

Just use your own or turn it off. I remember way back when using Windows (late 1990's) I had the last few bars of Ride the Lightning by Metallica!!!!!

I think the current startup sound suited Ubuntu in its brown years, but not anymore. But I don't think it sounds bad.

My wife loves the sound... and it has become synonymous with Ubuntu for her (and many others)... she even wanted the file to make it the start-up sound on her own laptop (Windows 7) and I said no :p

Wow, why do people make sarcastic posts without making sure to put spoiler text somewhere saying it was sarcasm. I would've believed that blog post.

You can just disable startup sound, I do. :P

It's one less thing the OS has to start on boot.

I think the start up sound is fine...And just cause you like rock does not mean everyone does.

It's not so bad. And yes, it's distinct.

But it's true that Ubuntu has drifted away from the original human theme, so maybe an updated startup sound is in order.
