Hey there! You are able to turn off the chime by simply changing the command:

Turn on:

defaults write com.apple.PowerChime ChimeOnAllHardware -bool true; open /System/Library/CoreServices/PowerChime.app &

Turn off:

defaults write com.apple.PowerChime ChimeOnAllHardware -bool false; open /System/Library/CoreServices/PowerChime.app &

Difference is that the ‘on’ command states true and the off command states ‘false’

Try to attempt this, it may not work depending on your mac
