Although this probably won't effect the majority of you, I thouht I'd pass along this trivia..
Your account needs to be an Administrator account to effect the system volume. Non-administrator accounts can effect the volume for their current session, but it will reset to the system volume when they logout.
I work in a company where people have shared accounts/home directories and only the IT people are administrators on the box. It took some research to figure out why volume levels weren't sticking past the current session...

Here is a random thread that I found useful... thanks for the links duffman. No more annoyingly loud startup chime for me.
I read that holding down the mute button during start up will mute the sound (this from Mac OS X the missing manual).
No, it's not F3 on every keyboard. For example, on my Pro Keyboard, it's a separate key (and F3 doesn't cause muting). In addition, I think it was F5 on my iBook.
Not to be judgemental but muting your mac before you turn it off so it remains muted when you turn it on works perfectly and is quite logical.
