Great news! I¡¯m so glad it worked for you, as I had no way to test it. I hope it works for all who want to restore the ¡°throaty¡± chime.
On my brand new 2019 16¡± MacBook Pro, I¡¯d describe it as ¡°mellow.¡± I¡¯m sure if I looked I could find an aural history of the startup chime.
What I find interesting in all of this is that it displays what must be an ongoing argument not approaching resolution at Apple as to whether there should BE a startup chime. After all, there must be very specific coding in firmware that enables it, and that coding MUST be many lines long, denoting pitch, overtones, duration, whether or not it¡¯s modified by output sound settings (it is, of course). So, it¡¯s a jewel that¡¯s ALWAYS been there, just waiting for the resourceful to find it.
