Indeed! I have just discovered the same thing:
https://github.com/atari800/atari800/issues/229#issuecomment-2068163115.
I'll try to investigate where our beloved beep-beep-beep loading sound
went.

I'm not a fan of Altirra. I tried it once via wine and did not like it.

I guess it boils down to what one is accustomed to. I rarely use emulators
as I own real hardware and love using it so I had missed the whole Altirra
wave and how it took over Atari800's "market". However to be fair, Altirra
not only emulates correctly every obscure thing you throw at it but
additionally, Avery Lee (its author) has written an amazing Hardware guide
about all possible quirks you can imagine *and* occasionally
contributes with his knowledge to concrete Atari800 issues. So I'm really
grateful for Altirra and his author, no hard feelings whatsoever.
