Bug Description
Pressing the hardware volume up/down buttons does indeed raise and lower the volume, but also emits a very loud beep. This is particularly unhelpful if you're trying to use the volume down button to play something quieter to avoid disturbing your neighbours/
The visual feedback works fine - I really don't also need audio feedback for the volume control, but there seems to be no way to turn it off.
Feisty Herd 5 with GNOME system beep disabled.

Thank you for your bug report. I get the same on my ThinkPad T42 (edgy).
