Bug Description
Binary package hint: indicator-applet
In evolution I have turned off the "Play a Sound" option in Mail Preferences, I have also changed the theme in Sound Preferences to "No Sounds" and Muted "Alert Volume". The pcspkr module is blacklisted. Despite all this, when a new email arrives, I am greeted by a heinous and *LOUD* "BEEP" sound which overpowers my music and scares the baby (and me). What can I do other than reverting to 9.04? This is terrible!

Apparently this isn't just a problem with the indicator-applet because other applications are beeping in the same way:
1. gnome-terminal when I backspace too far (though I could turn this 'feature' off by unchecking "Terminal Bell" in the profile prefs
2. vimperator plugin for Firefox when I scroll to high or low
3. gvim likewise
4. probably everything else as well.
This is bad. Really bad. See Ubuntu: #77010
