Hi, The startup chime was a computer specific item in that model of Mac. That is, the startup chime should still work normally on that device without any intervention in System Preferences. I’m willing to be corrected, but I also believe that the checkbox that they’re speaking of was not present in Catalina, only Big Sur and newer.
No, it will not make that sound upon opening the lid as it is a chime that is sounded as part of the boot process. In older Macs, before it was removed, it doubled as kind of a system check. If you heard that noise, then the hardware was OK, and it should proceed to bring up the MacOS, unless the drive was a problem. HTH.
