Startup Chime on Macbook Pro 13” Mid - 2009

My Macbook Pro 13” Mid - 2009 works perfectly fine, however, I have noticed that others’ macbook have a startup chime. Mine doesn’t and I find it weird. How can I get back my startup chime?🥺

Have you tried re-set NVRAM-PRAM & see maybe resolve this symptom. Four keys

held down through process of restart. Let it chime 2 or three times before release.

"Settings that can be stored in NVRAM include sound volume, display resolution, or

startup-disk selection, time zone.. If you experience issues related to these settings

or others, resetting NVRAM might help." (not valid w/ new M1 Apple Silicon CPU)


"If you experience issues with sleep, wake, power, charging your Mac
