The nosound parameter is a good suggestion, and it would be a fix for
the users who install Ubuntu.
However, the problem comes in with the bootabled CD ("LiveCD") version
of Ubuntu--which most users cannot change. The bootable CD image has the
loud startup sound enabled. Instead of forcing users to remember to boot
a special way in order to avoid the sound, the sound should be disabled
by default.
