Mate that is the startup sound. You must have never used XP.

The startup sound has an upwards melody, the shutdown has a downwards melody.

Oh man, you're right. I don't know why I heard it differently before.

They are similar but the other goes down in pitch (shutdown)

Yea, I could hear it in my head when I read your message. I rebooted that old emachines a thousand times.
