Windows Messenger is MSN Messenger isn't it?
Just they rename different versions.
No, they were never the same (dispite what people might say!!) and they are totally different products made by different teams and aimed for a different userbase (Windows Messenger is bussiness oriented, MSN Messenger is "casual" oriented).

Every MSN Messenger prior to version 5 (eventhough it wasn't called MSN Messenger in version 1, 2, etc) had the same sounds (but less of them of course) than what they use now in Windows Messenger.
Since MSN Messenger 5, the sounds changed to what they are today. However, gradually more sounds have been added since though.
There was no
"Windows Messenger" v1, 2, 3, etc... nor was there a
"MSN Messenger".
There was only 1 messenger and it was called
"MSN Messenger Service".
It was only later (after v4) that the product was split into
"MSN Messenger" and
"Windows Messenger". Windows Messenger stayed with major version number 4 and went on from that (to 5.1.xxxx today), and MSN Messenger started with major build v5.0 (to 6.2.xxxx today)...
And with the birth of
"Windows Live Messenger" (following the major build number path of MSN Messenger, starting at v8), the aim is again to merge both
"MSN Messenger" and
"Windows Messenger" into one product again.
All the above goes for MSN and Windows Messenger for Windows. For the Mac, there is/was a MSN Messenger v1, 2, 3, 4....

The sounds used in "Windows Messenger" today are still exactly the same as the ones used in "MSN Messenger Service" (though, back then there were less sounds).
