I apologize up front: I am a complete and utter GitHub N00b, and also a MacOS newbie (though with a lot of experience with Microsloth). Please tell me what I do wrong, and correct my idiocies!
Because of experience repairing computers, and finding the boot sound to sometimes be a salvation in troubleshooting, when I got a Mac I did not wish to silence the boot sound entirely, just guaranty it was quiet: never earth-shaking. NoBootSound was the best (free) solution I found, and since it was possible and permissible, I modified it to reduce rather than mute the system volume at shutdown.
I do not know if I should change the name and make this a separate entity (SoftBootSound or somesuch), or if it makes sense to somehow combine it with the original. I'd prefer to follow whatever route teored90 prefers. I originally dumped everything I did into the wiki on the original project, but now I'm trying to follow what I think is the correct route for something like this...fork then pull request? Kid gloves, please and thank you.
In any case, thank you to Teored90 and JuanJonol for making this project open and available to everyone struggling with this annoying aspect of MacOS! It sure helped me out!
