There are some sounds that you listen on different computer activities known as “System sounds”. By default these are added in all Windows operating system and so Windows 7 also has this feature.
For examples, when you turn on your PC, plug in or plug off any external device, lock your PC, turn off your PC or email your PC then you listen a specific sound. There are many other computer actions too that make different sounds and we call them system sounds. The question is where all these sound files are present? To know answer, go ahead.
