I'm looking at:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/24946/how-do-i-disable-the-drum-beat-sound-
on-the-login-screen

which has been asked, but not really answered. Or, it's a bug? Anyhow,
none of the options are available to me. Any pointers? Purge GNOME?



Thanks,

Click on the sound icon at the top right of your screen, and select
"Sound Settings...".

In the Sound Effects tab, disable the "Sound theme".

Gosh, as simple as this. Who would have thought..... :-) .

Another way of doing it is to find the *.wav file containing this sound
and either rename it/zap it or replace it with a more pleasant and
melodious sound (like Beethoven's 5th).

I confused the sound at the login screen the OP asked, with the sound
that happens when someone logs in, if you enable the relevant option.

Yeah, that might do the trick. It seems to be the same (or similar)
sound which mozilla gives for noresponsive javascript. Very jarring.
Actually, I'm not sure that it's the sound, just that it's relatively
loud (both of them). Anyhow, looking into that.

I just thought of this while reading your response: provided that the
sound *IS* a *.wav file and not hard coded into some system file which
plays this sound when you logon.

LOL. Firefox seems to use this sound, or perhaps, GNOME, in many places.
I'm just now starting to realize how grating it is. I found:

thufir@tleilax:~$
thufir@tleilax:~$ nl /usr/share/gnome/autostart/libcanberra-login-
sound.desktop
1 [Desktop Entry]
2 Type=Application
3 Name=GNOME Login Sound
4 Comment=Plays a sound whenever you log in
5 Exec=/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --
description="GNOME Login"
6 OnlyShowIn=GNOME;
7 AutostartCondition=GNOME /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds
8 X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=Application
9 X-GNOME-Provides=login-sound
thufir@tleilax:~$

so I'm going to poke around in that vicinity to see if I can see what
this drum beat goes back to. Just a "ping" or something would be fine.
Grr, GNOME, grr. I mean, the sound makes it sound like the computer's
about to explode, when it's only either logging out or Firefox is showing
some dialog, or something else innocuous. Quite silly.

I asked this question here:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/101790/disable-or-change-gnome-drum-beat-
sound


Since I have no idea how to proceed. Frankly, I dislike stackoverflow/
etc, but I guess they're better than the ExpertSexChange sites they
replaced. Ignore erroneous caps "error". anyhow.

For the applications sound, disable the Sound theme in Sound Settings,
which can be found at the sound icon at the top right of your screen.
