In windows there is an option call no sounds.

Is there anything like that in unity / ubuntu 11.10?

I don't ever never want a system kind of sound.

Three simple steps:

To disable system sounds check Sound Settings:

open sound settings

Mute Alert Volume:

sound settings

To mute the Login Sound open Startup Applications:

startup apps open

Disable GNOME Login Sound:

disable login sound

To disable the alert on the login screen (lightdm) you have to mute it once - it is muted automatically next time you start your system:

mute login sound

Done.

So this means there is only 1 system sound, is that correct? Cause it said, alert sound. I got the feeling that all possible sounds wasn't included in the dialog. – ptomasroos Feb 23 '12 at 9:52
I muted it on my system and I'm not annoyed by any system sound. – Jakob Feb 23 '12 at 9:58

Go to the Dash, type "Sound". The sound menu opens. There you can mute all system sounds.

It only shows the "sound recorder". No sound options at all. (Dash sucks imho) – Calmarius May 13 at 7:18

Another way to do this is to install dconf-editor (sudo apt-get install dconf-tools from the Terminal) and head over to org > gnome > desktop > sound and uncheck 'event-sounds'.
