Dear buy,
First of all you should learn how to behave in a normal society. Then, once you have done that, try to switch your brain on and listen to other people, if you are able to.
The startup sound of imac is just annoying and an operating system that does not foresee a simple way to silence it without changing the volume settings is just crap.
