I would prefer something fun like The Final Countdown song to play.
Is there any way I can change the startup bong on my Early 2011 MBP 8,2 to something custom?

Best Answer
You technically can't...
But there are a few things you can do instead.
Using a few techniques I picked up on the interwebs, I've figured out a way to both
Afplay
at boot throughcrontab
and LaunchDaemons is not working. If someone else can get it to work, lemme know, I'll add it)Disabling the boot chime
I seriously recommend not doing this. Debug is important, and if there's a hardware issue, you need to know what startup chime you have. Turn back, ye who fear.
The boot chime is now disabled.
Adding a login chime
/path/to/sound/file
with the path to the sound file.That's it.
You now have no startup chime(use caution) and a login chime. Hooray!
