Hi Ronni, Peter & Mark,
We have success!!
Ronni's link to a new bit of software did the trick.
However, the 'current stable version ' of the software (1.0.3)
didn't work (told me I needed a later version) so I tried the more
recent version 1.11 and that worked fine.
Many thanks to you all ...
Clyde

Clyde,
Try StartupSound.prefPane 1.1b1
You can download it here:
<http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16425/startupsound.prefpane>
StartupSound.prefPane is the software which controls the volume of
the startup sound of your Macintosh computer. StartupSound.prefPane
mute the startup sound without changing the output volume setting.
And StartupSound.prefPane limits the startup volume so that it may
not become loud even if you make the output volume louder. To set
up the startup volume, you select the "Startup Sound" pane added to
the "System Preferences."
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried those, but they turn off
ALL sound. I still want to be able to use my earphones (I mainly
do music things on my iMac), but I just want to stop he initial
startup chord.
With thanks ... Clyde

Hi,
I've recently converted to Apple and now the proud owner of an
iMac.
I often do work during the night, and was wondering if there is
someway to stop the 'startup chord' as it wakes others up.
I have earphones plugged in, but somehow this chord still seems
to bypass them and sounds through the speakers.
Is there someway I can turn it off or turn it down?
Go to System Preferences > Sound and move the Output volume slide
to the left until you reach th volume you want. Alternatively,
click the Mute checkbox on the same screen to turn off the sound
completely.
