Turn the Mac Startup Sound on or off
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Sound. In the Sound Effects pane, use the “Play sound on startup” setting to turn the startup sound on or off.
Why Doesn't my Mac have a Startup Chime?
The first thing is to ensure that the volume on your Macs volume is not muted when you shut the machine down. On some models of Mac, if you boot your Mac with the volume muted, the chime will not sound. The second fix that you can try is resetting the PRAM on your Mac. Shut down your Mac.
Why does my Mac Make a Sound when I Turn it On?
Your Mac's startup sound depends on the volume level your Mac was set to when it was shut down. If your Mac was set to maximum volume level, the boot chime will be played at maximum volume. If your Mac was muted, the startup chime will be silenced.
Why did Apple Remove the Startup Chime?
In 2016, the startup chime went away. At the time, Apple didn't say anything about why it was removing the sound you hear when you start up a Mac. Most likely, removing the startup chime was a signal that the Mac is like the iPhone or iPad in that they're essentially always on.
