==Crystal Quest==

Someone on /. says that the sosumi sound was lifted from the Crystal Quest game.

Line 7 ⟶ 16:

:Well, there's nowhere else on the Internet where anyone's claiming that. I'll be looking into it in more detail soon. --[[User:Carnildo|Carnildo]] 19:12, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

''Jim adds, "Funny, it may actually be true. The sosumi beep may have originally came from Crystal Quest!"''

So, it's true, sosumi was indeed lifted from crystal quest.

Line 14 ⟶ 23:

:"May have". Doesn't mean yes, doesn't mean no. The exact quote from the Slashdot thread is "Well, I'm responsible for Sosumi, the System 7 beeps, and the startup sound (which all remain in use today). I don't actually remember where or how I obtained the original sound." Any claims that it was stolen from Crystal Quest are simply unverifiable rumors. --[[User:Carnildo|Carnildo]] 23:39, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:I doubt itthat the Sosumi sound came from Crystal Quest. As far as I remember Crystal Quest, it's a game that came to the Mac relatively late - at least after these system sounds were added. --[[User:TorbenGB|TorbenGB]] 28 July 2005

Line 20 ⟶ 29:

:I doubt it. It seems to me like it's just a wild eep. --[[User:Carnildo|Carnildo]] 03:56, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

[[Eep]] has a story but it's not as interesting as Sosumi. Regardless, I feel it's worth being part of an article on Wikipedia. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Eep_%287th_nomination%29 Some people don't], however. :/ [[User:Eep²|Eep²]] 13:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

== Japanese? ==

What is the Japanese character/word "sosumi," as referenced in the article? I'm assuming there isn't one, so that should be mentioned.

:There isn't one, but it makes a convienient fiction to get a lawyer off one's back. --[[User:Carnildo|Carnildo]] 19:59, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

:::Well, if you check http://www.omniglot.com/writing/japanese_hiragana.htm You can figure out the exact characters. My computer doesn't have the Japanese IME right now, but tomorrow when I get on a iMac at school I might try to translate the [[romaji]] into [[hiragana]], unless somebody else can do it before 8:30 am ADT. --[[User:Ampersand2006|Amp]][[User:Ampersand2006/Esperanza|<span style="color: green;">e</span>]][[User:Ampersand2006|rsand2006]] ^{( [[User_Talk:Ampersand2006|&amp;]] )} 00:24, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

::::Here it is: <span lang="ja" style="font-size: 150%;">祖すみ</span> at least I think that's it... --[[User:Ampersand2006|Amp]][[User:Ampersand2006/Esperanza|<span style="color: green;">e</span>]][[User:Ampersand2006|rsand2006]] ^{( [[User_Talk:Ampersand2006|&amp;]] )} 11:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

:::::It doesn't really mean anything in Japanese. You'd be best off using katakana: ソスミ. The hiragana is そすみ. The 祖 character you mentioned before is a kanji that's pronounced as "so", but it doesn't really make sense to use it here.

== Firmware? ==

Howdy. Wikipedia noob here! Why is this article in the category Macintosh Firmware? I mean, I don't believe Sosumi, which is a sound file, has anything to do with firmware... [[User:SkiSkywalker|SkiSkywalker]] 04:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

== Sosumi is not a startup chime ==

Howdy! Seasoned Wikipedia fan here. I just wanted to explain why I re-removed the mention of Wall-E from the article.

Sosumi is one of several alert sounds that came with System 7, for when the software needed to alert you. In contrast, the startup chime featured in Wall-E is one of several sounds that have been embedded in Mac firmware over the years, to be played early in the startup process. Sosumi is not a startup chime. [http://obamapacman.com/2010/03/man-behind-the-iconic-apple-mac-os-startup-sound-so-sue-me-legend/ The cited interview with Jim Reekes] covers both sounds; it does not say that Sosumi was used in Wall-E.

== Sonumi ==

The article mentions that the sound was going to be renamed but the name was left intact for Big Sur. I can't verify this, because as of 11.2.3 (20D91) it's called Sonumi. I'm not sure if I should remove the claim or if the change was made later. --[[User:Sdfisher|Steven Fisher]] ([[User talk:Sdfisher|talk]]) 23:06, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

:It is called Sonumi for me in Sonoma 14.3 (I would think it was a fun change related to the name Sonoma, but it looks like change was before Sonoma). [[Special:Contributions/66.41.121.142|66.41.121.142]] ([[User talk:66.41.121.142|talk]]) 16:24, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

== Sosumi as a sound itself ==

I assume the sound hasn't changed since release until Big Sur. I was thinking about making a fair use file of the Sosumi file from OS X Mavericks. Is it worth a fair use usage?
