I tried what was written here in a number of different ways. Nothing stops my start up chime ringing loudly and clearly. You still need to fix the bug. This was one of my key reasons for using Mac Pilot!! Please look into this some more.

Sorry but the Start Up Chime Mute Still Doesn't Work - bbadon
I agree. The "Mute Start Up Chime" does not work on my Mac Mini running Leopard (10.5.1).Saturday, February 02 2008 @ 12:00 AM PST
Partial Solution for Muting Startup Chime - bbadon
I finally got Mac Pilot to mute the Startup Chime on my Mac Mini running Leopard (10.5.1), however, in a somewhat limited manner. After I reset the SMC the Mac Pilot "Mute Startup Chime" command worked. But, if you plug in headphones the Startup Chime still sounds through the internal speakers; if you unplug the headphones, the Startup Chime is muted. Strange behavior. Hope the Mac Pilot folks find a way to correct this.Saturday, February 02 2008 @ 12:00 AM PST
Try These - MAC_1984
If you have tried another app that altered the Startup Sound in the past you may wish to try the following as I did to get things back to normal and allow this particular Mac Pilot function to work:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341

It worked for me, I cannot guarantee it will work for you, but it is worth a try.
