may be used to create behaviour similar to a real Mac, where the chime itself can be used

sequence in OpenCore than on Apple hardware, due to the fact that non-native drivers
have to be loaded and connected first. This longer additional delay can also be useful
in systems where fast boot time and/or slow monitor signal synchronisation may cause the
boot logo not to be shown at all on some boots or reboots.
