"the sound" that I think he wants to suppress is the startup chime, which can't be turned off because it serves a very specific hardware debugging purpose related to the boot process. There are hacks that can turn down the volume of the chime but it cannot be completely turned off.

- DanBC 14y agoBut you have to mute the computer before you shut it down. Remembering to perform an action every single time in order to prevent a startup chime is sub-optimal. Having an option to turn it off would be better than relying on a 3rd party hack.
