        I assume the first beep is compiled into the firmware bin file and not a configuration setting in one of the python files. Anyway, yes I can flash firmware, so please send it to me.

            I got it flashed and it's working good. No startup beep :-)

            For anyone else interested in v1.2.0 without the startup beeps...
            https://www.dropbox.com/s/093qcc7e51ywl4m/nobeep.zip?dl=0

            Pre-requisite: you must have esptool.py installed on your Mac and the m5stack is connected to a USB port.

            unzip nobeep.zip 
            cd nobeep
            esptool.py --chip esp32 --port /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART --baud 921600 erase_flash
            esptool.py --chip esp32 --port /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART --baud 921600 write_flash -z 0x1000 ./bootloader.bin 0xf000 ./phy_init_data.bin 0x10000 ./MicroPython.bin 0x8000 ./partitions_mpy.bin
            esptool.py --chip esp32 --port /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART --baud 921600 --before default_reset --after no_reset write_flash -z --flash_freq 40m 0x170000 ./spiffs_image_0x170000.img
            

            Reboot the m5stack.

            To silence the second beep (when choosing Upload, App.List, or Setup) do this:
            Pre-requisite: you must have ampy installed on your Mac

            ampy get /flash/boot.py
            

            Copy the entire output and create a new file called boot.py. Make the change below to set volume=0 in these three locations of the while loop.

            # wait 1000 for user choose
            cnt_down = time.ticks_ms() + 1000
            while time.ticks_ms() < cnt_down:
                if buttonA.isPressed():   # M5Cloud upload     
                    speaker.tone(2000, 50, volume=0, timer=False) # Beep
                    core_start('flow')
                    break
            
                elif buttonB.isPressed(): # APP list
                    speaker.tone(2000, 50, volume=0, timer=False) # Beep
                    from app_manage import file_choose
                    file_choose()
                    core_start('app')
                    break
            
                elif buttonC.isPressed(): # WiFi setting
                    speaker.tone(2000, 50, volume=0, timer=False) # Beep
                    import wifichoose
                    wifichoose.start()
                    break
            

            Upload the new file to the m5stack:

            ampy put boot.py /flash/boot.py
            

            Reboot the m5stack.

              This is great!!! exactly what I was looking for.
              Would it be possible to have all new firmwares for both core/stick with and without beeps?!? It is quite annoying especially when prototyping with other people around, too many unnecessary resets and beeps

              Is there a way to put forward a formal request for no-beeps or options in main menu?

                the ampy get /flash/boot.py command doesn't seem to work on my mac.

                I've tried adding the uart address and bauds but no luck.....

                any caveat?!

                    Did you install ampy on your Mac? If not, it won’t work. You can find install instructions here: https://learn.adafruit.com/micropython-basics-load-files-and-run-code/install-ampy

                    Also, I need to double check tomorrow, but starting with uiFlow firmware v1.2.3, I think the M5Stack team already disabled the first startup beep in the firmware.

                      Hi I certainly did it, ampy is installed and functional but doesn’t seem to connect to the device.
                      Thanks for looking into this. Removing all unnecessary beeps from the standard firmware would be great. No-one would buy a car honking at every steering or dashboard switch activation!

                        If it's not connecting to the device, what errors do you see? Paste your command line output here and maybe I can help further.

                        One other custom I did for ampy... I created the file ~/.ampy with these contents:

                        # Example .ampy file
                        # Please fill in your own port, baud rate, and delay
                        AMPY_PORT=/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART
                        AMPY_BAUD=115200
                        # Fix for macOS users' "Could not enter raw repl"; try 2.0 and lower from there:
                        #AMPY_DELAY=0.5
                        

                        If you create that file, you will not have to pass the port and baud rate options when running the ampy command. This is the standard way to run ampy when you don't have the .ampy file created.

                        world101$ ampy -p /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART -b 115200 ls
                        /flash
                        

                        Also, I was mistaken on the the v1.2.3 firmware with the beeps disabled by default. I just flashed one of my cores with the M5Burner and the beeps are there. I must have been running a custom firmware before.
