Listen to the sick Mac sound effect song that Apple opened its keynote with

• October 18, 2021

Apple kicked off its MacBook Pro keynote a little differently today: with a sweet remix of classic Apple sound effects from the past 45 years of the company’s history, created by artist A. G. Cook — using Apple’s Pro Display XDR, MacBook Pro, and Logic Pro, of course.

The song itself is called “Start Up” and is a surprisingly chill listening experience. The video’s fun, too, featuring a wide array of Apple hardware from throughout the years, including old iBooks and the sadly defunct iPod Hi-Fi.

The full list of sound effects trend toward Apple’s more recent hardware, of course, but there are a few classic Easter eggs, too. The full list of sound effects, provided by Apple, is below:

• iMac G3 startup
• MacBook Pro startup
• AirPods case closing
• iOS alert
• HomePod minimum volume
• iPod click wheel
• Note alert
• Email whoosh
• MagSafe charger
• Night Owl ringtone
• HomePod Nope
• HomePod PingPong
• Mac 2020 alert
• Empty trash
• Message sent
• Message received
• HomePod device identify
• iPhone keyboard
• AirDrop invite
• Mac Sosumi
• Apple Pay

It’s fitting that Cook (no relation to Apple’s CEO) would produce today’s Apple remix, given that he released his second album, Apple (no relation to the multitrillion-dollar tech company) in 2020. It’s not clear whether Apple and Cook will release “Start Up” on Apple Music — which, admittedly, would make a lot of sense — but you can enjoy Cook’s chill tech-inspired beats here.
