Can you disable startup/shutdown sound?

It could be just me, but It's too damn loud

No you can not disable it. And it was much louder than this before, they have already reduced the volume of that sound once in the past.

If you think that is bad, imagine working in a real computer repair shop and having to hear the same windows start up noise every day. Hint: It's just as annoying as hearing this sound in PCBS.

Other than lowering the volume, the answer for that question is yes, there is a way to completely disable it the startup sound (I have done this myself), but this involves the process of modding the game file. I can give somewhat lengthy tutorial to do it here, if you are really interested to do it yourself.

I just wanted to mention to you for a moment: Modifying any steam game in any way when it doesn't officially have mod support can (and has in the past) be considered cheating in the eyes of the steam moderators. I have seen people receive bans for discussing it in the steam forums.

You can also get rid of the shutdown sound (which delays the shutdown, before that sound was implemented the computers were much faster on shutdowning) if you pull the computer from desk, place it and turn on (if you have the auto-connect feature).
Unlike real computers they don't need a safe shutdown...

I have noticed that! We can even do "Forbidden" stuff in PCBS like removing a ram stick while the computer is on and running 3dmark.

Splendid. Could you just upload a modded game file instead of making a tutorial? I'd be much obliged.

Imagine irl you can unplug both loudspeakers and the speaker. By the way, there's no loundspeakers on your vitrual desktop and it makes it even more annoying.

Now while I agree some sounds are awfully loud (OS sounds indeed, but fans as well), and we should have an option to adjust those sounds separately, I also think that this game does not require any sound at all.

There are NO useful sound whatsoever in PCBS (like BIOS sounds), so personally I just dropped the PCBS sound to ZERO, and I use some external music player while I play PCBS, way quieter and much more enjoyable to play that way in my opinion.

If anything, just don't share the modified/hacked copyright game assets and files or link to them where they are available, and should be okay and at least could stay out of troubles.

If possible you can try yourself since it's easy actually. Maybe I just give TL;DR version

Just get Unity Assets Bundle Extractor online and open "sharedassets1.assets" in "PCBS_Data" folder (BACK UP the file first) to find "osStartUp" and "osshutdown" file where you can remove them. Save assets to your desktop first and paste it back PCBS_data folder.

You will no longer hear the loud OS sound.

Majestic! I did everything like you said and it worked like a charm. Thank you very kindly.

Except laptops.. when you install windows for the first time in laptops in real life you can't disable the speakers yet until you get to the desktop and we get to hear all the windows install sounds for the first time. And if you end up having to re-install windows on multiple laptops at the same time well...........

100% Complete and utter nonsense. Not only is modding games - regardless of whether or not they have built-in support for mods - not cheat, but even if it WERE, cheating is completely permitted on Steam, so long as you are not doing so in a multiplayer game.

Funny thing is, there're no speakers on the table. So, I assume, the startup/shutdown sound is produced by display speakers... but if you unplug the display and start the PC the sound is still there. :)

I'm not trying to argue or anything but I did want to take a moment and point you at the page with the steam rules so you understand and you can stop spreading misinformation in public.

The page is here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4045-USHJ-3810

Under the section "Content Rules" where it says "Do not post any content on Steam containing the following:" it says "Cheating, hacking, game exploits" It does -NOT- say multiplayer anywhere on that entire page. Those rules apply to -ALL- steam games, multiplayer or single player. And modifying a game that does not have workshop support is technically considered "hacking", regardless if it is single player or multiplayer.
