Hi, You can use:
sudo nvram StartupMute=%00 To enable the startup chime on a Mac where it has been muted. Remember that in Terminal, when you use the “sudo” command, you will be asked to enter your password if you’re an Admin of the computer. There will be no audio feedback when entering this password in Terminal like you would here in regular situations. If you’re not in an Admin account, you will not be able to use this command. HTH.
