Every time I opened my laptop on the train today, everyone nearby knew
because of the loud chords that accompany the vaio page that comes before the
XP one. Can I control any of the features of these two start-up pages,
especially the sounds?

Do a search for wav, find the sound - delete or rename the file.
 
The Vaio sound is controlled through the Vaio Configuration Utility. It
should be in the Control Panel, with a Vaio or laptop icon, or it
usually loads into the system tray. You should be able to eliminate the
sound under the Startup Options tab.

My Vaio is a little older model, it might be different than yours, but
I think that this might be the general way for all of them. IT might
take a little playing around, but there is a way to do it while running
Windows.

Good luck!

Yes, you can get rid of that sound. It has nothing to do with Windows. In
the BIOS, which you enter by pressing F2 on my VAIO (it could be DEL on
yours though) there is an option to have the silent bootup without the
animated VAIO logo. I can't remember what the actual option is called or on
which section it is, but it is there somewhere..

This may be correct, as I wiped all the proprietary crap on my VAIO and put
clean (and reduced with nLite) XP installation on it instead, so I am not
sure. But I know that the sound can be disabled in the BIOS.
