Hi Petrus, Re my earlier messge,
So I use spotlight to open terminal, Then I typed the command manually Sudo nvram StartupMute=%00 Note that S of start up and M of Mute are upper case, they have to be in this command. Once typed or copied / pasted in to terminal Hit enter, Then wait a few seconds and you should get the prompt for a password, Note this is the administrators password for the machine I would assume your accounts password, Enter this and then give it a few moments and it should say a few more things that are eralivant You can then close the terminal window I normally type exit and then hit enter, And then do a command w to close the prompt And then on my own MBP I did a restart using ctrl and eject / power and barda bing barda boom, I got a start up chime. Hope this helps.

I saw an article on this earlier today on Apple Insider, but haven’t had time to try it on my 2019 MacBook Pro 13. Glad to know that Tim was successful in restoring the chime on one of his Macs. I’ve gotten use to living without the chime, but would love to get it back. - Brad - On Feb 22, 2020, at 14:26, 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com<mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com>> wrote: Thanks for this Mark. I tried it and it did indeed work on my 2017 MBP Retina. Now, I'll have to take back those words I said about my urging going on deaf ears at Apple. Would have been nice is they let me know though.

Read on for more details. Mark Bring back your Mac's startup chime with this simple terminal command By Michael Potuck Apple's Mac startup chime became an iconic signature of the company's computers over the years and then in late 2016, it was removed for all Macs going forward with the exception of the 2017 MacBook Air. In a fun development today, there's a short terminal command that's been discovered that will bring back your Mac's startup chime. Back in 2016, there was a similar terminal command discovered to keep the startup chime, but Apple killed it not too long after. Now it seems Apple has brought back the hidden option at some point with macOS Catalina. Today, Twitter user @chaysegr shared a video showing his MacBook Pro booting up with the iconic chime. He shared the terminal command that you can run to bring it back on your Mac: sudo nvram StartupMute=%00 Type or copy and paste that command in Terminal then press return (enter your password if required). We verified that the command does indeed work on a couple of our machines here at 9to5Mac. Shortly after, @tempaccountnull discovered that "sudo nvram StartupMute=%01" will turn it back to the default of no chime. For a fun look behind the scenes of the making and history of the Mac startup chime, check out this interview with the creator Jim Reekes. What do you think? Are you excited to have the Mac chime back? Share your thoughts in the comments below? Thanks, Dylan!
