My information from apple accessibility is that there is a checkbox for
the start up sound under system preferences, sound, sound effects.

On mac's that do not have startup chime, you can still enable it in the
terminal app with a command that examines and changes nvram settings for the
computer. I think it might have been Alex Hall that posted the recipe to turn
this on. Or perhaps a man --- c nvram will pull up the sntax. My mac is a
couple 100 miles away so can't be very specific.

???Hi,
If your volume is set low, then, yes, the startup chime will normally be set
low as well. Are you saying that when you restart, or startup your computer
from scratch, you do not hear any startup chime?

Hi Tim,
My understanding is that this is the very last Mac os before big shore, which
may be why the sound is missing.
As i am profoundly new to all this, I want to insure I have it, was never a
windows user so all this boot time makes me crazy laughs.
What about turning up the sound if needful?

Hi,
The startup chime was a computer specific item in that model of Mac. That is,
the startup chime should still work normally on that device without any
intervention in System Preferences. I???m willing to be corrected, but I also
believe that the checkbox that they???re speaking of was not present in
Catalina, only Big Sur and newer.
No, it will not make that sound upon opening the lid as it is a chime that is
sounded as part of the boot process. In older Macs, before it was removed, it
doubled as kind of a system check. If you heard that noise, then the hardware
was OK, and it should proceed to bring up the MacOS, unless the drive was a
problem.
HTH.

hi everyone,
I have a mid 2012 15 inch macbook pro retina now running os 10.15.7 Catalina.
I recall the discussion about the apple start up sound being removed, was told
by apple accessibility that this is corrected by accessing system preferences,
sound, sound effects, and making sure there is a checkbox beside start up sound.
What I do not recall though is how one insures the start up sound volume is
turned up, something I want to know just in case.
Also, if the start up sound is provided, does it also happen when awakening
the mac, opening the lid?
Thanks,
Karen
