Adjustable Mac Boot Sound

Sometimes it's way too loud!
You're on your way home, and your favorite song comes on. If you're like me, you're going to crank up the volume as much as possible and maybe even sing along. Heck, it's your favorite song, make it as loud as you can and enjoy it. When you get home, you shut the car and head inside.
The next day, you start the car and your radio is still at the same maximum volume it was the night before, except this time, it catches you off guard and scares the heck out of you. This time, it's not playing your favorite song and you can't believe you had the volume that loud the night before.
If you own a Mac, the same thing happens every time you turn it on. It plays the famous "Mac Startup Chord"... at whatever volume you were at when you shut it down. If you raised your volume the night before, you get a thunderous "TA-DAAAA" sound the next morning.
I think Apple should have a simple setting that lets you decide what volume you want whenever it boots.
If nothing else, it should allow you to adjust the volume of the Startup Sound, but ideally you should be able to configure the default volume for the system itself. This way, the system will always start at that volume level. You can raise of lower it later, but there's no reason for it to automatically assume you want the volume to be the same as it was when you shut it.
