Bug Description

The start of an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS live session, where it asks whether you want to Try or Install, makes an annoying loud chiming noise. One of the last things I want when troubleshooting with live media is to have to quickly hit the mute button to avoid angering everyone around me -- IMO computers should be seen and not heard, unless explicitly asked.

Thanks for your report.

This sound is played on purpose to provide an audio feedback for people with visual disabilities so they know when the system is ready and can enable accessibility features like the screen reader.
