Comment 9 for bug 77010

Adding to Ayatana to signal the DX/DUX teams to take a look at this.

I very frequently hear complaints from new users that Ubuntu makes their computer beep really loudly and nastily whenever the press backspace too many times in a text entry field, or otherwise trigger an alert noise. Ubuntu has a much more pleasant alert sound that should be played instead (which you can hear in System > Preferences > Sound > Sounds > Alert Sound). I would go so far as to say that we NEVER want to play the system beep during the course of a normal graphical session; sometimes it is so loud, users look as if they had received an electric shock.
