Hi, I have tried to make a good chime sound on boot with clover, but the absence of the audio driver (in my case, only HDMI audio) was a problem. So, the best way to do , without any application or intrusive program, was create a clean launchd plist with the instructions to play the sound.
1) first: locate a good copy of chime.aiff on internet (google "carillon 1.2b")
2) copy the Chime.aiff file to /System/Library/Sounds/
3) on terminal: sudo chown root:wheel /System/Library/Sounds/Chime.aiff
4) copy com.hackintosh.sound.plist to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
5) on terminal: sudo chown root:wheel /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.hackintosh.sound.plist
and that is it. You can change the time interval (I use 2 seconds) until it runs, but it only run once, since it success, it exits.
The Chime sound will be play before the login screen, at the end of the apple logo progress bar.
To uninstall, just delete the /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.hackintosh.sound.plist and the /System/Library/Sounds/Chime.aiff
this is not the best, but it simple and works fine for my taste.
