Losing sound in Gnobots could scare younger children

[David Kolossa]

When losing a game of gnobots2 (Version 2.22.1.1) the sound of a sharp "Aieee!" is heard, as if the shouter was in horror. I think this could scare younger children because of the sharp long cry.

In my opinion, the games in the default installation of Ubuntu should be playable at every age, and this cry is needlessly frightening.

While Robot's gameplay is basically non-violent, I think this sound should be replaced with a more comical and harmlass one to avoid kids being scared.

It might be best if we simply deleted the sound entirely. It's immediately followed by a clapping sound for the score menu.
