Default BMW startup chime

Hi

I was wondering if there's a way to activate BMW chime when inserting the key as a welcome?

I kinda like it as it always makes the sound to alert me of my seatbelt

You'll get a chime soon enough if you DON'T fasten your seat belt.

I wonder why it doesn't do on mine. Is there an option to switch it on?

I hate hate hate the chime. I find it annoying. Especially I feel unnecessary to keep reminding me about things like low washer fluid and fog light out. UGHHH. I wish I could silence it forevarrrr!!
