If you’re like most people, you probably don’t like the sound of your computer beeping when you log in. This is especially true if you use a laptop or some other portable device. In this article, we’ll show you how to disable login sounds in Ubuntu. First, open the System Settings application by clicking on the System icon in the top left corner of your desktop. In the System Settings window, click on Security and then on Login Sounds. In the Login Sounds window, click on the checkbox next to “Enable login sounds.” Then, click on OK to close the window. ..
Disable the User Login Sound
By default, when you log into your Ubuntu desktop, a program will run that plays a sound to greet you. Let’s disable that program!
Click on System > Preferences > Startup Applications.
Scroll through the list and find the GNOME Login Sound program. Uncheck the checkbox (or click Remove to permanently remove the option from this list).
Disable the Login Ready Sound
In addition to the sound that plays when you log in, a sound may play when the Ubuntu log in screen is ready for you to log in.
To disable this, click on System > Administration > Login Screen.
This change requires super user privileges, so assuming you have them, click on the Unlock button and enter your password.
Once unlocked, you can uncheck the “Play login sound” checkbox.
Conclusion
While the login sounds can be helpful, especially if your computer is older and you have to make a sandwich while your computer boots up, they can also be very annoying. If you want to turn them off, make sure you disable both of the login sounds!
