The login sound, which many users considers to be the most intrusive
system sound, can be disabled from "Startup Applications...".

Title:
  "No sounds" theme missing in sound preferences

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  There isn't a "No sounds" theme to choose as alert sound in the sound
  preferences. There used to be one, and it is necessary to get rid of
  system sounds.

  A workaround would be to set the "Alert volume" to zero, but that
  causes all application sounds (e.g. Skype incoming calls) to be muted,
  which is not what I want.

  Another workaround would be to set event-sounds setting with dconf-
  editor (org->gnome->desktop->sound->event-sounds). When I do this, the
  theme selection dialog is grayed out, but sounds keep playing. I was
  think about filing this as a separate bug, but I am not sure which
  package to file it to.

  If I am missing something and there is a way to get rid of system
  sounds without getting rid of specific application sounds, please let
  me know.
