There are 16 different Mac mini models that fall into the A1347 category.

At this point it is impossible for us to help you, without more precise details about the Mac mini year model, the spec's and what all you have connected to it. see > Writing an effective Apple Support Commun… - Apple Community

I bought a new HDD drive Crucial MX500 2.5" 500 GB and put it in MAC Mini.

I downloaded Mojave from Apple website , used Terminal and the following command , after renaming the usb drive name to MyVolume.


The problem is i cant hear the beep when starting mac in order to push option button after that.


sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume


why there is no beep sound ?

There is no startup chime because there is no macOS installed on the drive.


Using a USB keyboard and mouse turn on the Mac mini holding the Alt (option) key and see if the installer is presented in the Startup Manager.


If not, then there is something wrong with the installer on the flash drive and you need to make another one.
