I've heard good things about StartupSound.prefPane, as in it actually works and doesn't cause any strange issues. On my G4, Mac OS 9's volume setting is used for the startup sound, but Mac OS X's are ignored. As I have a very powerful sound setup, I usually switch off the speakers when booting so I don't jar nearby neighbours when I boot. On a related note, I wonder when the next totally new startup sound will come about...
