Startup chime changed!

[stavHN]

Did anyone else noticed that the startup chime is different on Big Sur???
installed Big Sur on my MBP retina mid 2015 yesterday and at first I thought that I might misheard, but they changed the chime!!!
its more "fuzzy" than the original one!
GIVE ME MY CHIME BACK!!!

Nothing changed here on a NcMP other than there is a chime unlike Catalina where there was no chime unless activated by the user in Terminal.

The startup chime on some macs was updated in BS 11.0.1. The new chime seems shorter with a subtly different timbre.

I installed Security Update 2020-001 (Catalina), and the startup chime changed as well.
