Boot Chime:
I don't really care for it, but for those that like to have it, here's what you need.
1) AudioDxe.efi in /EFI/OC/Drivers; make sure it's added in Config file under UEFI/Drivers
2) OCEFIAudio_VoiceOver_Boot.wav in /EFI/OC/Resources/Audio //attached below
OCEFIAudio_VoiceOver_Boot.wav.zip
3) In config file under UEFI->Audio, set the following settings
That's it, reboot and you should hear a loud chime when you boot to the OC Picker!
