Today we have to consent to our users who choose the company of the bitten apple, In other words, AppleWell, today we will be talking about our macOS computers and something that will bring back memories for some of us.
Music is one of the things we remember the most at all times, but this time we are talking about a specific sound, if so, the sound that these equipment emitted when they were turned on, like Microsoft's Windows computers do. .
If you are one of those who got these computers before 2016, you know exactly what we mean, because after this year, the following computers stopped playing them. That is why today here at Look How It Is Made, we will be teaching you recover this sound on your macOS computer.
Turn your Mac's startup sound on and off
As I commented a moment ago, To achieve our goal it is necessary to use the terminal and to achieve this we must follow the following steps:
- Once you turn on your computer, should go to the Finder to be able to use the terminal, which is very easy, you just have to click on Finder.
- Thereafter, you must go to the menu and click on it, found at the top of the screen.
- Once the alternatives are displayed, you must search for a file and then click on it.
- A new option will appear called New Finder Window, where you can organize files into folders if you want.
- After this in the left sidebar you should find the app icon and click on it.
- You select where it says utilities folder and later in the option called terminal. All this procedure happens in the right part of the window.
Once you have entered the terminal from Finder, you just have to follow the following steps to activate the sound. Once in the terminal, you must enter the following command sudo nvram BootAudio =% 01 and after this you press accept. Once you do this, every time you turn on your computer you will be able to hear that sound that you miss so much.
But now that the sound got really annoying, do not worry, just turn it off as follows.
Once you have returned to the terminal in the same way that I was previously taught, you must write the following command, sudo nvram BootAudio =% 00 And that's it, every time you turn on your computer, will no longer have the characteristic sound.
How to configure startup sound alternatives and features on Mac
In this mode, we can start by selecting the system preferences in the Apple menu, clicking on the sound option. Later we find the sound option when starting the MAC, let's go to the end, we click on sound effects and set the specific option to play the startup sound. Right there we will find the different characteristics of the selected sound option.

These sounds can also be called alert sounds and their configuration consists of something very simple and fast.

In this list of sounds you can do small tests before specifying them on your computer.
Sound when turning on Mac computer
Yes, These computers have had a great variety of versions of operating systems and with it different sounds when they are turned on, but with the passage of time it seems that this company got tired of them and decided to stop putting them in the new generations of PC's Mac.
But actually, it was rather that it gave all its users the possibility to activate it or come now disabled by defaultWell, there is also a group of people who really prefer not to listen to it. What did you consider not?
Best of all, its activation is very easy and simple, solo we must go through the extremesl, with a simple command. In common situations it is very rare to enter this terminal, but these steps are really easy to understand.
Basic rules when typing commands.
There are a range of rules when using it, but there is one that is very important. When writing the commands in the terminal it is essential that all characters are taken into account, including even spaces. Another rule is that you cannot use the mouse, but you can only navigate with the arrows on your keyboard.
All of these commands will always run in your current location, In other words, if a location is not placed in the command, will use the last indicated location.
As you can see, it is very easy to restore this sound in our macOS computers, That is why I invite you to try this method, but remember not to use other commands that you are not sure of since they can affect your computer and we do not want that.
