Jensen Harris, who worked with the Redmond company as the Windows User Experience (WUE) team's Director of Program Management, took to You tube to explain why the company killed the startup sound on Windows 8 & Windows 10, as spotted by Windows Central.

Harris said that he realised that having a startup sound was "a really bad feature for a device". It's not good for private and intimate spaces at any time of day and night and even classroom, library and aeroplane at night. That's essentially how the startup sound was removed from the OS.
Harris team was considering adding it again. However, the Windows Fundamentals team that was tasked with optimising the OS bootup time needed to play the audio. So the sound was permanently axed in favour of faster startup speeds.
