Today we must give the consent to our users who prefer the company of the bitten apple, namely Apple, because today we will talk about ours computer macOS and something that will bring to mind 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, in that case, the sound that these computers make when they are 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 have stopped playing them. It is for this reason that today here at Look How It Is Made, we will teach you how recover this sound on your macOS computer.
Turn your Mac's startup sound on and off
As I mentioned earlier, to reach our goal it is necessary to use the terminal and to reach it we must follow the following steps:
- Once you turn on your computer you have to go to Finder to be able to use the terminal, which is very simple, you just have to click on Finder.
- Next, you need to go to the menu and click on it, which is located at the top of the screen.
- Once the options appear, you need to search for a file and then click on it.
- A new option will appear called a new Finder window, where you can organize files into folders if you wish.
- Next, in the left sidebar, you have to find the application icon and click on it.
- Select where the folder of utilities says and then in the option called terminal. This whole process takes place in the right part of the window.
Once you enter the terminal from Finder, you just need to follow the steps below to activate the sound. Once in the terminal, you need to enter the following command sudo nvram BootAudio =% 01 and then do click on accept. Once this is done, every time you turn on your computer you will be able to hear that sound that you miss so much.
But now that sound has gotten really annoying, don't worry, turn it off as follows.
Once back to the terminal in the same way I was taught earlier, you need to write the following command, sudo nvram BootAudio =% 00 and that's it every time light on the computer will no longer have the characteristic sound.
How to configure startup sound options and features on Mac
In this mode, we can start by selecting system preferences in the Apple menu, by clicking on the audio option. So we find the audio option when starting the MAC, let's go to the end, let's do it click sound effects and we configure the specific option to play the startup sound. Right there we will find the different characteristics of the chosen audio option.
Add a custom sound when you log in
These sounds can also be called warning sounds and setting them up is something very simple and quick. Go to the Apple menu in the option of preferences of sound , click on the sound option and there you will find the effect option. In this list of sounds you can do some little tests before specifying them on your computer.
Sound when the Mac computer is turned on
Yes, these computers have had a huge variety of versions of operating systems and with them different sounds when turned on, but as time has gone by it seems this company has grown tired of them and decided to stop putting them in. new generations of Mac computers.
But in reality, it was rather that it gave all of its users the option to activate it or, by coming already disabled by default, because there is also the group of people who really prefer not to listen to him.
The best thing is that its activation is done very easily and simply, we have to alone do it through the terminal, 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 writing commands.
There are a variety of rules when using it, but there is one that is very important. When writing commands in the terminal it is important that all characters are taken into account, including spaces. Another rule is that you can't use the mouse, but you can navigate only with the arrows on the keyboard.
All these commands will always be executed in the current position, that is, if a position is not entered in the command, it will use the last position indicated.
As you can see, it's really easy to restore this sound to ours computer macOS, so i urge you to try this method but remember not to use other commands you are unsure of as they can affect your computer and we don't want that.
