I have a problem with service login/logout sound playing from time to time. This is extremely annoying it disturbs movie watching, music everything.I have also no idea what is this sound notification supposed to be telling me.
The sound files are located here:
/usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/service-login.oga
/usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/service-logout.oga
Removing or renaming these files does not stop the sound from playing. Can you help me out to disable the sound notification?
This is my configuration:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04 bionic
Kernel: x86_64 Linux 4.15.0-23-generic
Shell: bash 4.4.19
Resolution: 3840x1080
DE: GNOME
WM: GNOME Shell
WM Theme: Adwaita
GTK Theme: Flat Remix GTK [GTK2/3]
Icon Theme: Obsidian-Sand
Font: Lato 10
CPU: Intel Core i5-7200U @ 4x 3.1GHz [49.0°C]
GPU: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 (Kaby Lake GT2)
RAM: 3839MiB
The problem is present when I use Gnome Wayland desktop, cinnamon desktop as well as with Awesomewm window manager. Any ideas how to disable this sound?
EDIT: Thanks for suggestions, I can see that journalctl shows this message around the time that the sound occurs:

The culprit is Pidgin, when I close it the problem stops. It seems that the Pidgin is reconnecting to xmpp/jabber server every once in a while and causing this problem. Dino jabber client is reconnecting too but there is no associated sound to it. I have disabled all the notifications apart from the incoming message and the annoying sound is gone. Thanks!
