Comment 2 for bug 1776074

No. Touch sound is also used for desktop for ringtones and alarms. Removing touch-sound will end up indicator-datetime spamming syslog specially if it can't detects the type of system (i.e. phone or desktop). Removing touch-sounds requires dropping "phone" support in its code or similar considerable changes.

I can make the ringtones configurable through gsettings and make both phone & desktop use it and then perhaps renaming it to "ubuntu-ringtones/unity-ringtones". It's better than the current situation.
