Just because there is a check next to windows startup sound doesnt mean there is a sound associated with it.
- Right-click on Desktop and select Personalize.
- Click on the link named “Sounds” at the bottom of the window.
- Next, select a sound event from the list and then hit Browse button. Note that you need to have your customized new sound file in .wav format.
- Select your desired .wav sound track and click Open and then click Apply.
- Once you change the sound, just hit the Play button to test the customized sound.
Repeat the procedure from step 3 to step 5 to customize all or any sound event. Only thing you need to remember is that Windows supports only .wav files.

Thank you Urbwolf. I have just recently installed Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate. I just wanted the original Start up Sound. There does not appear to be a Start up Sound listed in the Programs Events List.

Hello Brummy
Thank you for your reply. I am sure it is not Log On. It is listed as Windows Start Up in the
C Directory/Windows /Media. In there that wave file sound is just a soft click. It should be music lasting a second or two.

I have just gone into my lap with Vista Premium OS. Startup sound on the Laptop is fine. I thought to copy the Startup Wave file on the Laptop and replace the one on my Desktop, in C Directory/Windows/Media. Unfortanetly that wave file did not have any music*, just a soft click, exactly the same as the one on my Desktop. So where does Windows keep the startup wave file with music*? And what are the wave files titled Startup
*I say music but I am sure you know what I mean.

Windows 7 doesn't have a start up sound just the logon sound. I played my startup sound and its just a click also the sound i hear when my computer starts up is the same as the windows log on sound.

Thank you for your reply Urbwolf.I don't have to log in when I boot up on Windows 7 and I get no sound when Windows opens, Just like I don't have to long in with Vista but I get sound when Windows opens. I have deliberately not activated the password facility. Both of them give me the Log in Sound when I come out of sleep mode and have to log in.
Why does Windows make such a big deal of Windows Startup Sound by not putting Windows Startup wave file in the Control Panel/Sounds but giving you a little box to tick for "on" or untick for "off" To hear the wave Sound from Windows Startup you to go to C/Windows/Media and its just a little click. To hear anything you have to put the volume up. When is this sound activated by Windows?

It's a bug...
Win 7 Home Premium.
Found out this: when you select a picture as screen background, then you will have the startup sound.
But, when you select a fixed color for the background, then there is no sound... Now even more strange in this case: press the desktop button (at the far right) and you'll have the sound!
As i I like a fixed background, I had to create a color JPG, which I use as a background image.
I would like to report this to MS, but I've not found how. It's really a mistery how to report bugs to them.
Hope this helps you guys.

...And more
Well, I found out this:
Apparently the sound comes when the desktop displays, I found out these configurations:
1/ only one account (auto-login) and fixed color background
-sound comes when you press (firsttime) the desktop button
2/ with picture background, sound comes up
3/ multiple accounts (you have to click one)
-sound comes when the desktop displays
Thence, I suppose that the sound is generated at the same time the desktop (re)paints...
