How to set the opening sound on Chromebook

Traditional computers have the sound of turning on the machine as soon as the system is turned on and started running. Chromebooks don't have this feature by default, but if you remember the same opening sounds you would have on older computers, you can activate it manually via your device's settings.

In this article, TipsMake will guide you on how to set up sound on Chromebook.

On a Chromebook device, click the status section at the bottom right corner of the screen to bring up the quick settings panel. Select the settings icon to enter the Chromebook's Settings menu .

In case you have trouble getting to this menu, you can find the option's name in the search bar at the top of the Settings menu .

Now your Chromebook will turn on the sound every time you open it. The sound only appears when you start to turn on when the machine is completely turned off, and if you turn on the device from sleep mode, nothing will sound.

The volume of the opening sound depends on the speaker system of your Chromebook. Therefore, if you want to mute or turn on loud enough, adjust the volume right above the speaker volume on the device.

In addition, a Chrome utility called Startup Sound for Chromebook will help you install other opening sounds from operating systems like macOS or even Windows XP.

When the installation is complete, click the icon from the extension tray on the right corner of Google Chrome.
