The Nokia 3310 ringtone
That unmistakable tune echoing across a school corridor or the top deck of a bus. If you didn't have this as your alarm at some point, did you even live through the noughties?

Windows XP startup chime
Four seconds of pure optimism before you settled in for a Minesweeper session. It somehow sounded warmer than any Windows version since.

Sky+ box remote beeping
Furiously scrolling through the EPG to find Ant and Dec while the family shouted at you to hurry up. Peak British living room energy.

The PlayStation 2 boot-up hum
That deep, cinematic whoosh meant homework was officially over. Genuinely felt like you were about to launch a spaceship rather than play FIFA.

Dial-up internet screeching
A full 45 seconds of digital agony just to check one Hotmail account. And heaven help you if someone picked up the landline halfway through.
