If you unpack them, they reveal what the company was thinking, how they felt about their technology, and where they were headed”. These sounds are like mini time capsules. The host, Dallas Taylor, noted at the beginning of the episode: “Startup sounds may only last a few short seconds, but they can tell us a lot about the company that designed them.
