Open up the System Preferences app and click on the “Energy Saver” icon shaped like a lightbulb. If you don’t see the icon in the menu bar, it may be turned off. If your battery is charging, it will have a lightning bolt symbol over the battery icon. If so, the battery status is displayed in the top menu bar, along with apps using a lot of juice and warnings if your battery is old (and not holding a charge very well). Is It Turned On, With the Screen Visible? If you hear it, then you know it’s charging. Still, you can try disconnecting and reconnecting the cable to listen for the sound. You also won’t hear it if your laptop’s sound is off or if the battery is completely dead when you plug in the cable. It’s a ding that sounds just like the sound when plugging in an iPhone, but it’s quieter. Tip: Newer MacBooks make a sound when you connect the charger.
