Macs have always had the classic boot chime that announces the system has begun startup or has rebooted, but if you’re in a quiet place you don’t always want that sound to play. You may know that you can temporarily mute the Mac by holding down the Mute key during boot or reboot, but if you are looking for a more permanent solution that doesn’t involve the terminal, check out StartNinja.
A free and simple utility that gives users the ability to disable the startup chime, StartNinja will keep the Macs boot sound quiet while allowing the Mac to retain normal sound function otherwise.
If you’re interested in getting StartupNinja to silence your Mac startup chime, you can download it from the developer here:
This should work on all modern Macs to hush that boot volume, though it’s OS X version dependent, so older OS X versions will want to rely on a different app.
For those running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or prior, holding mute works on a per boot basis, or there is a system preference panel that gives the same ability to disable the boot sound.
