Thanks. Tried and negative result. Cannot explain but it was working before and stopped about a week and a half ago. Cannot determine if resulted from update or what. I have read that the chime was indication that machine was working properly. When I didn't hear it I became concerned and I've not been able to locate the problem.
NOT SOLVED! AGGRESSIVE FINGERS......

You do not say what exact Mac /model /year /size /retina /touchbar is this ?
The new machines do not have the chime.
Mac models from late 2016 and newer don't have a startup chime, with the exception of MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017).

Verify your volume is not muted when you shut down and restart.
Reset NVRAM/PRAM as instructed and it appears to have worked. Chime was a welcome sound. Thanks to you leroydouglas and macjack for your time, assistance and patience. Glad you're out there.
Your welcome, glad it's sorted!
