High Sierra Startup Chime / Bong Missing

Just bought a new iMac and the "bong" is missing.

Can I get it back?

Kinda like it ... and used to it, after 30 years!

Thanks

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017), macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

There is not. Lots of users upset by its removal. I don't know why it was removed. All you can do is register your complaint at the link I provided. Then hope enough users have done the same which may convince Apple to put it back.

Start up chime This is so frustrating. I keep losing the start-up chime which is supposed to signify that certain checks are being made at the start-up. It returned twice after updating, but now there are no updates. This is a brand new Mac; I haven't even made one payment on it yet. Not only does the chime fail, but the sound crackles. I ran diagnostics several times and the results were always negative. However, the diagnostic bar always only completes 1/3 of the way before popping out to tell me everything is okay. I can't risk going to the genius bar because of COVID. Any suggestions?
