Perhaps root and flash BNv2 if you are comfortable in doing so. It changes the boot animation, and removes the sound

The T-Mobile zmax has boot & shutdown sounds. The MetroPCS version does not.
The only way to disable the boot sound requires rooting the phone. While the decision is ultimately yours, I would not advise rooting your phone just for this reason alone. The zmax is not very kind to people who are new to rooting and modifying their devices. From what I have seen, at least a dozen people have made mistakes and bricked their phones and this is only counting people who are forum members who are asking for help. It is entirely possible and very likely that there are many more that we do not know about.

Its possible you may need to change permissions on the boot sound or what you name the startupsound.ogg etc... would like to do this myself but wasnt sure if it would cause problems on boot

If I remember correctly you were using one of the custom lollipop ROMs, which don't support boot sounds. Also, boot and shutdown sounds always need to be .ogg format. For example PowerOn.ogg & PowerOff.ogg
The file names are case sensitive also. Poweron.ogg, powerOn.ogg, & PowerOn.ogg are all considered different file names.
