Since I've upgraded my xubuntu to 17.04 (via the do-release-upgrade), I get a plopping sound for a lot of "impossible" actions. It's system-wide and very annoying and I want to get rid of it. No sound settings even EXIST in the system-settings.

Here are some examples when the sound goes off:

  • when I press the left arrow at the beginning of a line in any text editor
  • in Vimperator, when I accidentally try to follow a non-existent link (using the 'f' key)

I can't think of anything else, but this is enough to drive me nuts; it might give you an idea.

Help very much appreciated. Thanks, p

  • It made me think you have event messages enabled. Have a look at: askubuntu.com/questions/460368/…

    Your issue is still bugging me... I installed 17.04 as a VM and I too get a plopping sound in the Terminal. Yet, I can turn it off by right-clicking in the top/title line -> Terminal -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Edit (Unnamed is selected) -> untick Terminal bell -> Close.

    aw snap! I indeed hear the plop in Thunar when I delete a file but like you am unable to find where to turn it off. Sorry...
