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.
