The unexpected and surprising leak made it possible to download Windows 11 sounds. Yesterday, Windows 11 build 21966 found its way to the Internet, so interested users can finally try it and play with its new features and resources.

However, some of the user interface parts are directly borrowed from Windows 10X, which is now cancelled in flavor of regular desktop updates.
Windows 11 includes a new start menu, new oobe, new wallpapers and a new startup sound. Here on Winaero we have a gallery of the leaked build screenshots. The link to official wallpapers can be found in the attachment to that post.

This is not Win 11 sounds.. :/
oh? AFAIK they were extracted from build 21996.
Not completely Windows 11. It’s a weird mix of a few new sounds and the Windows 7(?) sound pack.
They are just from build 21996
Josh. “The weird mix” you are refering to is just legacy themes that ARE included to either Windows 10 and 11. In the root folder there are only Windows 11 sounds.
