Stop start up chime by default?

Is it possible to set a preference so that the start up chime will not be heard when I boot or re boot no matter how I have left the output volume when I last shut down?

Yep, you can

Thanks. Works great.

Glad I found this wonderful forum.

Thank you, Louishen, that could come in handy. Although I must say I like the Mac's chime, it just makes it special. ;P

The Startup Ninja is one program, there is also the "Startup Sound Preference Panel" which still works with Lion. I use the latter to quiet the startup chime rather than turn it off completely. The startup chime lets you know your Mac has passed POST.
