As technology marches on, a problem is created: the world is in danger of losing forever some of the iconic sounds of past technologies. To combat this, the online Museum of Endangered Sounds, founded in January 2012, is preserving those “endangered” sounds for future generations to enjoy. From the boot chime of Windows 95 to dial telephones to modem connect tones, the Museum currently has 27 different tones online that you can hear; the collection will expand as time allows.
