Yeah by default it’s not loud, But for some reason it jumped up in volume and surprised the hell out of me.

The start-up chime is iconic. I remember my old Apple IIc had its own chime sound. I was totally dismayed when Apple did away with it on the 2016 MBPs. I too have restored the chime on my 2019 MBP 13 and my new mini. Wish I could get it on my iPhone/iPad. That would be awesome. - Brad - On Jun 23, 2020, at 23:29, 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com<mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com>> wrote: Hi Brad, Thanks for this info. The Startup Chime is classic in my opinion and pretty well necessary for us blind users. I did do the Terminal thing in Catalina on my 2017 MBP and it worked like a charm.

The classic Mac sound was removed from Apple's lineup of computers with the introduction of the 2016 MacBook Pros with Touch Bar<https://appleinsider.com/inside/2016-macbook-pros-with-touch-bar>. Ever since then, macOS<https://appleinsider.com/inside/macos> has been silent on startup. That changes in the first macOS Big Sur<https://appleinsider.com/inside/macos-big-sur>beta. AppleInsider confirmed the chime's reintroduction on a 2018 Mac mini<https://appleinsider.com/inside/mac-mini> and a 2016 15-inch MacBook Pro<https://appleinsider.com/inside/macbook-pro>. Based on social media posts from developers running the first beta, it looks like the startup chime is widely available on other models, too. It appears that users can toggle the sound on and off, since there's now a new "Play sound on startup" option in System Preferences. Apple first teased the chime's return during its WWDC 2020 keynote. While it didn't actually confirm the fact, Apple's macOS Big Sur features page does state that "system sounds are all-new and even more pleasing to the ear," and were created using snippets of the originals. During Monday's WWDC keynote, Apple VP of Human Interface Design Alan Dye said that the new sounds are "familiar to the Mac, but remastered and more refined." Although a software update in 2016 removed the startup chime, a later update to macOS Catalina actually added them under-the-hood — though it required a Terminal command<https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/02/22/how-to-turn-your-mac-startup-chime-back-on> to actually enable them.
