I'm experiencing an issue where exactly every 60 seconds, the screen briefly dims, then brightens, then beeps. I don't care about the dimming/brightening, but the beeping is maddening.

It happens while charging using a new (non-Apple) Magsafe3 connector I bought, connected to a 96W Apple power adaptor. This combo otherwise seems to charge fine.

So: can I fix this behaviour? Or at the least, prevent the beeping?

It's a 2022 M2 Max Macbook Pro. Ventura 13.6.3 (22G436)

EDIT

After some research I've discovered:

  • the screen dimming behaviour can be disabled in settings, "Slightly dim the display on battery"
  • the beep is called the "Power chime".

So now the question is how to disable the power chime. The actual file is at /System/Library/CoreServices/PowerChime.app/Contents/Resources/connect_power.aif but I'm not able to modify/remove it.

Screen dims then beeps once per minute while charging
