Apple is bringing redundancy the Mac's iconic startup chime in macOS Big Sur. The visitor hinted it might revealment by province the chinkle very prominently during yesterday's Worldwide Developers Re-cap keynote, as well as people who hypothesize installed the first Big Sur developer beta have reported that it's back. You can see a Mac on Big Sur comedy the chinkle while booting up in the video at the top of this post.

The startup chinkle was first removed from Macs in 2016 with the redesigned MacBook Pros released that year, as well as Macs released spine again (with the barring of the 2017 13-inch MacBook Air) didn't comedy the chinkle back you turned them on.

However, beforehand this year, it was discovered that Honeybunch would let you accredit the startup chinkle on those Macs if they were signed macOS Catalina as well as if you turned it on with a terminal command.

In Big Sur, you intuitively won't gotta run a terminal command to unharmoniousness on the chime, though -- you'll be stalwart to unharmoniousness it on or off right from your Mac's System Preferences, co-ordinate to the YouTube detersion in the video at the top of this post.

Apple has made-up other changes to sounds in Big Sur as well. On its website for Big Sur, Apple said that "system sounds are all-new as well as orderly increasingly radial to the ear. The new system alerts were created utilizing snippets of the originals, so they sound familiar." As well as the new sounds are "familiar to the Mac, however remastered as well as increasingly refined," said Alan Dye, Apple's carnality president of organism interface design, in yesterday's keynote video.

It's infrangible to tell how explicitly the famous startup chinkle may hypothesize inverse in Big Sur, however I will say that I'm solidly happy to hear it again.
