A couple of years ago I discovered a way to make my modern Macs produce the “bonnng” chime on boot-up. It’s actually still there but hidden for some reason. IIRC I had to enable it via the Terminal, which seemed really weird. But it was a total joy when it sprang back to life.

For a while there it was off by default, but I'm fairly sure it's back to being on out of the box on current machines. It's also now exposed through the UI: Settings > Sound > Play sound on startup.
