Reekes’ startup chime was modified several times during the 80s and 90s, ending as an F-sharp chord.

“Our excuse was it’s too risky to take it back out at this point because something could crash,” he said. Some engineers at Apple were not happy with the change. It made it into the original Quadra computer. He knew the engineers at Apple that were in charge of the ROMs and asked them to sneak it in there right before the computer was released. “And every time you would hear that sound it was pretty much because you were just rebooting after a crash.” “At that time, the truth was the computer crashed a lot,” Reekes said. His goal was to create a sound that was more soothing: Speaking to CNBC, he explained that he changed the sound without permission to do so because the previous effect was rather jarring and had become associated with a Mac rebooting after a crash. Perhaps the most notable sound effect created by Reekes was the Mac boot up sound. “I’ll just have to spell it funny, so I spelled it Sosumi.” “I actually said I’m gonna call it ‘let it beep’ and of course you can’t do anything like that, but I thought yeah, ‘so sue me.’ And then I thought that’s actually the right name,” Reekes said. One of his beeps, originally called “Xylophone,” needed a new name.

This was to fend off lawyers representing The Beatles, who were angry Apple had ventured into music despite Steve Jobs promising the record label Apple that his Apple Computer would stay away from music.Īs a part of the lawsuit, Reekes was tasked with renaming any sound effect that had a musical-sounding name.

One of Reekes’ early tasks at Apple was to rename various sound effects that had a musical name. Reekes left Apple in the 1990s, but you’ll probably recognize some of his sound effects… A fun piece from CNBC this morning highlights Jim Reekes, a former Apple employee who created numerous sound effects for the Mac during his time at Apple.
