Occasionally, I hear a very annoying notification sound. I don’t know all the places it occurs, and I usually just learn to avoid whatever is causing it.
Newest find: Hitting the Escape-key in gimp. That’s it. Open gimp, hit Escape, notification plays.
Ideally, just going to System Settings → Sound, and muting “Notification Sounds”, should mute all notification sounds. No matter where they come from. So I consider this a bug.
In System Settings → Colors & Themes → System Sounds, “Enable notification sounds” is unchecked and the tiles below that are grey.
In System Settings → Notifications, there isn’t anything about sounds initially, but it features two sub-menus:
- System Notifications: All the speaker symbols are grey, so there shouldn’t be any sound
- Application Settings: gimp isn’t even on the list, but I clicked through all of them and have found exactly one speaker symbol that’s not grey, but black, and that’s some alarm that I figured might be a good idea to keep as-is, if only to see how it looks like if a sound is enabled (I never hear that alarm sound).
Any ideas where else I can look?
