No default sound is available to indicate the attachment to wall power.
But if you are using OS X Yosemite installed Mac system and keeping your computer up to date with the Magsafe adapter, then you have the option to turn on the indicator sound.
French Tech Site MacGMac OS X 10.10.3 update includes a new service that provides an audio notification sound when your system attached to power.

PowerChime – This is a small app that provides this service.
This app available in the (/System/Library/CoreServices) – System’s CoreServices directory. You can enable this audio notification by running the following terminal command on a Macbook that has a Magsafe adapter.

Launch the PowerChime.app file. It will open but no windows will be visible.
When you finish these steps, your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air should alert you with a small chime sound when you connect a power adapter like when you connect with the iOS devices like an iPhone or iPad.
If you can’t hear the indicator sound after rebooting then log in or log out when power is attached.

In that, search and find “PowerChime” and close the program (But it will relaunch when your computer rebooted).
Also, remove the PowerChime app from your login items if you already added it.
