It is very true and changing the entire sound theme has been kinda
overlooked over the past 2 cycles and it really needs a revamp. It has
been mentioned on this list at length but nothing seems to be happening.
Id say Canonical need to either pay someone or do some sort of promoted
competition for doing a complete professional modern sound theme.
I remember a guy did post some of his stuff to the list but I dont know
what happened there. Maybe Mark can help on this...

In the vein of Mark Shuttleworth's 'Flie in the Icecream' analogy, I
want to raise the issue of the Ubuntu start-up jingle (not the little
drumroll).
I like it - it reminds me of Africa and home, but here is the problem-
I have observed many people dive for the volume control as it starts
with "Dum didi dum dum dum tada!!!".
It is nice in itself and affirming and comforting in Ubuntu
environments with other glowing, eager Ubuntu users. It is not so
comfortable in a number of situations:
An aeroplane,
A bus,
A lecture hall,
A quite pub,
A boardroom meeting,
The office,
While my partner is trying to watch tellie,
In any situation in which you do not want to draw attention to
yourself the sound becomes embarrassing and prolonged - hence the dive
for the volume control. You may respond that a solution is to turn
down the volume before you shut down, but in reality this does not
happen with most users.
I feel this is a small thing which needs to be addressed as Ubuntu
gets a mainstream uptake.
