Waking sound shut off

you mean the superdrive? i dont think there is a away to do that.

most do that when thye wake up for as long as i can remember.


if you want to silence your start-up you can simply press the mute speaker button on your Mac notebook prior to shutdown.

 

Whoops, too much to drink, didn't read the original post ...

No. That sound is the machine checking for a disc in the drive, you cannot silence it.

 

Do you mean the Mac startup sound? That can be silenced with a pref pane.

 

Do you have skype installed and set to auto launch and sign in?
Because that makes a space ship sound..

 

Does it sound mechanical or does it sound like it's a long tone.

 

well when a system goes into sleep mode and you awake it, it powers on the superdrive to check for disks.
and when your on a screen saver it doesnt power down or sleep the system it just sleeps the dispaly, so unless you have the exact same settings then maybe you can compare.


hm...if not...can you provide a sound sample of it?
just so we can get an idea,

 

Woo I win!

 

You didn't exactly provide a list of all installed applications, applications currently running when noticing the sound, the state of currently running applications, hardware configuration, loaded slot or tray drives, startup sounds, sound packs, addons, etc etc etc.

So, not really thinking outside the box. Just a good guess.

 

Personally, I haven't the foggiest idea what a spaceship sounds like, but apparently like Skype.
