12inch MacBook Charging Chime

Hello, everyone.


I recently got a new 12inch Macbook (early 2015). Till now, every time I connected it with the charging cable for it to charge it would make this chime which is also made on iPhone and iPad. However, two days ago when I put it to charge, it wouldn't do the chime sound. The volume is up to the maximum.

I am starting to get worried because it might be a problem with the speakers.

Thank you very much!!

MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

No, I can always hear the sound when the MacBook starts up. The sound I'm talking about is a sound only available on the new MacBook. It has a USB-C charger, not a MagSafe charger. So, when I connect the MacBook with the USB-C charger it makes this sound which is exactly the same sound heard when connecting an iPhone or iPad to power. But mine lately stopped making this sound. Yes, I can play music on iTunes.


Thank you very much my ginger!!

There is a startup chime when first powering on the Macbook. But I have never heard on a chime when just plugging in the magsafe power cord.


The 12" MacBook doesn't have a Magsafe power cord, it has a USB-C cord, when you pug it in, the MacBook makes a sound similar to iPhones and iPads.
