It either is not as multi layered as windows at shutdown or is just a lot faster. Sometimes voice will be cut off in mid word while in shut down process, but from that point on it's pretty fast. Since I have an i-mac and it's very quiet I just use feeling the air circulation to tell me it's actually shut off. Now when starting up you will hear a brief spin up and then tone and it goes through the boot up process. Sort of the opposite of windows which does the sound effect once it's ready to load windows unless you have screen reader speak up in the log in screen. So the start up will be different for you too in that regard too because in a Mac it searches the hardware and sounds when it's found sound card. If you start it and don't hear the sound fairly soon within a few seconds of the powering on, at least don't hear it in 10 seconds then something didn't find properly, or card is totally turned off, or broken. That rarely happens though, in fact I think I have only h eard it not sound off one time in nearly 10 years of using a Mac, so just reset it and it did normal procedure after I did that.
I think you will find the shut down very fast compared to your windows experience, but you will also find the start up to be sort of the opposite or an inversion to your windows experience too.
