[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1630726, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Robert[/B] - agree w/ the others, i.e. the 'startup sounds' provide information to you if the computer is having a problem booting - check [URL="http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202768"]HERE[/URL]. But just a step further, how often do you boot your machine? My iMac (attached to an APC UPS) is on all of the time & my MBPro usually plugged into the charger - I rarely shut down unless going 'out of town' for a few days or more; of course, both are set to 'sleep' and I do at least a monthly re-boot to clear the 'cobwebs' - this is always a debatable issue for many but an easy way to avoid hearing the sound that annoys you - :) Dave [/QUOTE]
