Yeah, I'm not a fan of this for those very reasons. I can live without it
for just daily startups, but there are tasks and situation in which the chime
was a great indicator that things were working as they should. My Mac Book Pro
2017 also does not have the chime when it starts. There was, briefly, a hack to
bring it back by running a specific line in terminal, but Apple has apparently
disabled this now.

This is happening with all new Macs. While frustrating, it isn’t the end of
the world for me. Windows computers don’t do this, and I’m just used to it
now.

Hi folks,
We installed a brand new iMac in the shop to day one of the last built
before the new operating system. With every other mac I have ever set down
to when you press the start button you hear a chime of sorts to let you
know that the start up process has begun. But no start up chime with the
new iMac.
After calling tech support and accessibility neither one knew why they had
made the change but they did confirm that it was happening on the new iMacs.
We did register a complaint.
Any thoughts?
