I found a thread that answered this question but answers were for people capable of modifying code. I could't even follow where to find what they were discussing. I need a common layperson user friendly instruction to shut off the chime when I plug in the charger. Please! Thank you so much.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
Did a second search and found the answer, which I easily followed and it worked 👍
To do this, press Cmd + Space to open Spotlight and search for Terminal to open that app. Once it launches, paste in the following command to disable the chime:
defaults write com.apple.PowerChime ChimeOnNoHardware -bool true;killall PowerChime
This command is pretty basic; it's just telling your Mac to turn off the option that makes it play a sound when you connect the charger. The second part (after the semicolon) kills the PowerChime app, which is responsible for playing the sound.

? Sounds like you already had this sorted out.

if you are near the mains leave it plugged in, if you need the portability then run on the battery only.
