You know whenever you start up your macbook pro it makes a start up sound.
Is there anyway to disable that?

there should be a snow leopard update. I have it install on my macbook pro and it works.

I don't usually mind the start-up sound however, sometimes its quite loud.
I was actually starting it up once and I discovered an easy way to mute the sound. As soon as you press the power button on the MBP and the LED light turns on, press and hold the mute volume key (the one with none of those wave thingys), when you see a grey screen or the hard drive/superdrive tick; you no long have to hold the button.

It was actually originally a piano chord.
Hmm i dont think so, ive used macs for a long time and it never sounded like a chord (from a piano)
I believe its referred to by Apple as the Startup Chime.
I rather like it and never feel embarrassed when it plays but to each his/her own.
Though, I wish they would have updated the chime when they moved from PPC to Intel. Perhaps even as they updated their models as they did in times gone by.
Of course, the coolest thing would be to be able to insert your own chime...now that would rock.

I think its super freaking annoying also.
But the Startup chime is there to serve as a diagnostic tool. The chime means that your installed ram, pram settings et al are good to go.
