Bug#668785: Not sure it should be fixed

[Matteo Settenvini]

I think the default is on for accessibility purposes. Imagine a
blind/short-sighted person waiting for the system to boot-up; the sound
you can hear is helpful to tell them to log in. This is even more
important in a public place, since you don't know who your users are.

Other systems such as Windows and Mac OS X have sounds too, as far as I
remember.

Ideally, a good solution would be to lower down your speakers
volume :-D.

Cheers,
