This is the sound the devil greets you with in hell.

I do the same thing with Mac's "hello noise". Hate it.

i put the speakers to my noisy neighbours wall- through my sterio, turn the bass and volume all the way up and let the wankers have a taste, that'll learn 'em

I think I've fixed it now RJG. I just wanted to take a survey (of hate).

I kill off all MS sounds, they are the epitomy of suckiness.

Didn't Brian Eno come up with that sound? AND DON'T WE LIKE BRIAN ENO?

I used to have Mark and Lard singing "We're going home in a f***ing ambulance!"

Also, if you actually pressed the hash key to end your recorded message on the phone messaging system. Almost nobody did this. Except one double glazing salesman who left one message, then rang back and left another in tears of laffing to say thanks!

My logon sound is a BBC mp3 of the Tardis in flight.

One of the first things I always do when I install windows is turn off all the sounds

I want Mail.app to play the Monty Python clip of "[arrow hitting noise] Message for you sir!".

At one time, my "a program has crashed" noise was a Father Ted clip: Father Jack shouting "ARSEBISCUITS!"

freshman year was great for replacing the Mac alert/error sound with Beavis soundbites, usually "Whoa!" or "Butthead!"
