Sound is a great thing. sound can affect one’s mood in many ways. Most computer users tend to neglect the noises their operating systems interfaces make as granted. More experienced uses just remove the noise for memory reasons. Because I’m a media junkie, I need the noise. I need my computer to sound less like a computer running windows and more like a home in a home. I just started to make my own sound scheme. Hearing 8-bit style sounds, for example, on my OS just feels nice. Starting up with a piece of a good song lifts my mood in the morning.
Point of note, most assembled schemes out there suck. If you want one which will fit you, you need to look for sounds from many places or cut up clips from songs.
