Turn off start up sound

I've just upgraded to Lion from Leopard and I've been using a programme to turn off the start up sound. However, this programme doesn't work on Lion.
Do you have any suggestions to other programmes that does the same as my old one?
I've tried turning the sound off completely, but it doesn't always work and I forget about it half the time.

So far I've used Startup Sound, but it's not compatible with Lion I hoped that I might get some recommendations.
The reason why I can't have my mac on standby is that it's usually placed in my bedroom and I have an ext screen and an ext hd attached to it there. If I turn off the power to these two devices but don't turn off the mac the ext hd especially will blink/make white noise and I'll have to deattach the ext devices to avoid this. It's simply too much bother (admitted, there's a hint of laziness in this as well).
Lastly, I simply don't see the point of the noise. The mac could just as well notify me by making a pop up message.

  • How can I turn off Start up Sound?

    How can I turn off the start up sound, on both my 10.7.5  iMac 24" Late 2006 and my 10.8.3  iMac 27" Late 2009 Mountain Lion.
    Plus my Superdrive has stopped working on both Computers. Please help asap.
    With kind regards, and many thanks.

    The best way to turn off the startup sound is to mute speakers before turning off your computer.
    Also, apps that help you turn off the startup sound don't work with iMacs. There's a command that will allow you to turn it off without muting your speakers. See > http://osxdaily.com/2012/11/04/disable-mac-boot-chime/

  • How do I turn off the "bong" start up tone without turning off all other sounds?

    How do I turn off the "bong" start up sound without turning off all other sounds?

    The start up tone is an important part of the start up sequence however if you want turn it off there are utilties that will do that. You can use Google to find one.
    BTW, if you look in your owners manual it says;
    "If you‘ll be away from your iMac for less than a few days, put it to sleep. When youriMac is in sleep, its screen is dark. You can quickly wake your iMac and bypass thestartup process."
    My recommendation, follow the manual and don't shut the computer down.

  • How do i turn off the startup sound on macbook pro?

    how do i turn off the startup sound on macbook pro?

    You don't. You may find some third-party software that will, however. Try Auto Mute.
    Alternatively, you can try this:
    I think this is the best and simplest solution. Open a Terminal window and type (or copy/paste) the following to turn down the startup noise:
         sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume="%00"
    Press RETURN.
    And to restore it to the original value type:
         sudo nvram -d SystemAudioVolume
    Press RETURN.
    That's all folks.

    The OP is asking about the sound for sending text messages. Turning the sound off for sent mail doesn't affect the sound for sent text messages.

  • How to turn off volume adjustment sound under Windows 7

    Hey all,
    I'm running Windows7 x64 on an Intel iMac (July 2010 revision).
    Things are running well for the most part. However, I am unable to find a way to turn off the blooping sound played when adjusting the volume in Windows 7 (I know how to turn it off in OS X). I have tried turning off all system sounds under Windows,but the volume adjustment sound still plays. Does anyone know how to turn this off? I find it jarring. I would appreciate any help that anyone can give.
    Thanks.

    That too bad because I use the MBP to do my radio show and it's very annoying. I know you can turn it off on the mac side.

  • How to turn off camera shutter sound

    how to turn off camera shutter sound on iphone5?

    You're getting different answers because different countries have different rules. In some places Apple is allowed to turn off the camera sound when the device is put on mute. In others, because of privacy concerns, Apple is not allowed to do so. Whenther you can or not depends on where you are. If mute doesn;t do it for you, you probably cannot turn it off.

    If you have a phone intended for sale in Japan, it's operating correctly. The mute switch does not disable the shutter sound. All phones in Japan, to the best of my knowledge, are hard coded to prevent the sound from being disabled for privacy reasons.

  • Turning off the Click Sound

    Hi,
    This is probably really easy but is there some way to turn
    off the "click" sound when using click boxes?
    Thanks!
    Gary

    Hi Gary
    Are you using Captivate 4? If so, it now sports such an
    option!
    If not, you will need to replace the click sound file with a
    silent file to achieve it.

    Hi,
    I LOVE my new iPhone...but is it possible to turn off the typewriter sound effects when typing email?
    Thanks

    Turn on silent mode, simple toggle the switch on the side of the phone. If you see the orange dot your in it. Then you wont here the sounds, but remember to flip it back so you'll hear ringtones if you want to.;)
