I've been looking into it, but it isn't as easy as past WM phones have been. There are a couple options so far. First, you can turn the Notification volume in whatever profile you use (probably Normal) to off. To do this go to Start/Settings/Profiles and highlight the profile you want to turn the sound off for. Then choose Menu/Edit, scroll down to Notification volume and set it to Off. The downside to this is all other notifications won't sound now either, including new email, new SMS, etc.
The other option is a registry edit. I'm still messing around with this one to make it work better. In your registry (you'll need an editor like PHM Regedit or Resco) go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Sounds/SystemStart. That is where the startup sound is located. In the values there is a Category and a Sound. The Sound value dictates what sound is played at system start. If you change it it will play the another sound. I tried just deleting it, and the sound doesn't play, but a different, less annoying sound does.
I have a T-Mobile SDA running WM 5.0 and installed PHM Registry Editor per your suggestion, then I removed HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Sounds/SystemStart. to be clear I removed the SystemStart Key. In other words SystemStart no longer exist within HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Sounds. I also removed the Shutdown Key, but the phone still has a startup sound and shutdown sound. What am I missing? What did I do wrong?
Thank you for your help.
