Gnome Sounds
The Gnome Desktop offers a rich audio experience to those who choose to enable it. The goal is to enhance the computing experience with the use of subtle audio feedback. This is accomplished by adding click and tick sounds to form and menu events and soft tones to message notifications. The original sounds were obtained from The Free Sound Project and in many cases are played unaltered.

2.#2 Select the Sounds^1^ tab. 3. (./) Check Play system sounds^2^ 4. System Sounds should match this 5. Close dialog window 6. Log out to activate new sound theme

The login event has three tones associated with it; login ready, login successful, and login failed. The most common event to have a tone associated with it is the Login Screen Ready event.
