How to Disable the Sound on a MacBook
When it comes to computer noises, silence is golden. Mac's operating system starts up with a little chime and, although the computer doesn't make a whole lot of internal noises once it's booted up, they can be annoying. Furthermore, pop-ups on websites often provide their disconcerting sounds, making the sound of silence all the more attractive. Turn off your MacBook's sound to give yourself the peace and harmony of a noiseless computing experience.
