Bug Description
==============
WORKAROUNDS
==============
NOTE: These workarounds disable the "system ready" sound (the drums). They will not disable the "successful login" and "logout" sounds. Go to Settings -> Sounds and set the sound theme to "no sounds" to disable these.
1) Disable all sounds for the login screen via gconf
$ sudo su gdm -c "gconftool-2 --set /desktop/
-OR-
2) Rename the system-ready.ogg sound file
$ sudo mv -v /usr/share/
==============
BUG
==============
When you log into Karmic using a Gnome session, you get a drum sound. There are many situations where you need a silent boot process, but it appears that this is impossible under Karmic.
In Jaunty and previous, you could configure gdm to log you in silently. This configuration has been removed from Karmic. Even opening Sound Preferences and choosing "No sounds" for "Sound theme" or disabling window and button sounds does not prevent the login sound from occurring.
Users must have the ability to login silently.

Sound theme sets one of the four alert sounds (bask, drip, glass or sonar). It does not change the system-ready sound. sounds/ ubuntu/ stereo and change the name of the file "dialog-question", for example to "dialog- question- backup" .
One of the many workarounds to your wish is to go to (with root priviledge) the directory /usr/share/
Now the system-ready (drums) sound does play no more.
