BootBeep app trigers the secret ROM picture of development team and options a second special boot chime.

Tried on Quadra 700 and 950.

Watch here interesting interview with Jim Reekes (creator of mac startup sound), interesting part about chime from 13:30

I think that the secret ROM special sound was original sound that the development team wanted to use in Quadra's, before Jim said that sound sucks

The original startup sound of Quadra was also used by Jean Michel Jarre on album METAMORPHOSES in song Bells

It reminds me a bit of the chime on the 20th Anniversary Macintosh.
