DeltaMac will become famous soon enough
There are many threads on this subject. Just search for 'turn off startup sound', for example.
Here's an app that should help
http://www5e.biglobe.ne.jp/~arcana/S.../index.en.html

The simplest way is to leave your Mac on, and simply put it to sleep when not in use. I realize that's not always practical, but many Mac users seldom shut their Mac off.

But what about on an Intel-based Mac?
I also want the startup sound to be turned off, and I followed your link plus quite a few others. Unfortunately, all of the ones I found only work on PPC Macs, but mine is Intel-based.

Does anyone know of a startup-sound-turner-offer that works on an Intel-based 10.4 MacBook Pro?

Thanks.

Thanks, but in MacPilot, the "Mute startup chime" checkbox is greyed out for me on my MacBook Pro, and I therefore can't set that option.
