As I recall, if you muted the sound before shutting down it would stay muted and not play the startup sound. My Mac experience starts at the white iBook G3 running OSX 10.2 though, so it could be that this behaviour is a new thing.
I now have a 13" TouchBar MacBook Pro and it makes a sound when I plug the charger in no matter what I do to the volume settings. When I have it muted and open I can actually see it unmute the sound so that it can make the charger sound then mute it again when it's done.
- ajmurmann 8y agoYep the muting already worked back then. So it always came down to crossing your fingers and hoping you muted before you left the house.
- glhaynes 8y agoJust fyi: I believe (but haven't gotten to try it myself) that this command will turn off the power chime when you plug in a USB-C charger. defaults write com.apple.PowerChime ChimeOnAllHardware -bool false;killall PowerChime
- Mister_Snuggles 8y agoI haven't tried this yet, but based on some quick searching it might need some tweaks[0]. This is a pretty easy change to make, so I'll try it out later.

- vvillena 8y agoYou could also press a certain button on the keyboard (I don't remember which) to ensure no boot sound is played. I'm not sure if this feature is still there.
- Mister_Snuggles 8y agoI believe you could hold the mute button to do this. I don't think the feature is there on mine, the TouchBar probably comes on way too late in the boot process.
