Shutdown Sounds
Strangely, the iPhone 14 is the first Apple device I'm aware of that includes an optional sound at Shutdown.
Also thanks @rsgnl for this tweet with the instructions on how to enable the sounds:

Crash Sounds
The Crashes (also known as the "Death Chimes") are produced by hitting the Programmer's Key (either by hitting the "Reset" button on the computer, or by hitting the "Command-Reset" keys on the keyboard) during the first stages of boot up. It can also occur during boot up when some low-level errors occur.
