I have mirrored the file here:

Now some comments:
The start up sound isn't bad, but I think it is too long. Also even
though Haiku isn't necessarily a "Japanese-themed" operating system,
there have been discussions of using some Japanese instruments in the
start up sound. Things like a Shamisen, Shakuhachi, or Taiko drums.
Combining those with some synthesized sounds like yours might be neat.
I think the beep is also a bit too long and the echoing might be
pretty annoying ;)
I think the mouse down sound is pretty good, though I don't know if we
want to have a sound for an event as common as that. I could see that
sound being used in a media center or similar application when you
click on stuff though.
I think the window open and close sounds are pretty good, but again I
don't know if we really need sounds for those events (at least not by
default.) Though these sounds could also be used for USB drive
mounting and unmounting, which I think would be useful.
