There's also another sound that macs would make, in case the initial diagnostic tests came back negative, to go with the "Sad Mac" screen. My favorite is still the NuBus Power Mac one (car crash sound).

Much more appropriate than the Mac II crash sound -- that was a happy arpeggio that completely failed to convey the message that something had gone wrong.
