Bug Description

Ever since upgrading to 12.04 the login screen makes the infamous drums sound again. This has been an issue on and off going back at least to 9.04 but I somehow had figured out how to disable it. Now it is back and there isn't straightforward way to turn it off.

The easy (but probably non-permanent) solution is to just remove the sound file, as outlined in http://askubuntu.com/questions/66786/how-to-disable-login-sound/66788#66788

Punch this into your shell:
sudo mv /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/system-ready{,-disabled}.ogg

A nice checkbox somewhere would make a lot more sense though.
