The traditional solution for loudly booting computers can be found at your
local hardware store. Its a 1/8 inch diameter nylon or other plastic
bolt. Be sure it's plastic because you're going to insert it in the
headphone jack on your computer. This should silence the internal
speakers, provided the headphone jack is wired in the usual way.
Don't do this with a steel bolt. A steel bolt will short out the mac's
amplifier and possibly burn it out and maybe take your motherboard or power
supply with it.
Enjoy the silence.
