I really don't like alert sounds and want to turn them off. I have tried to turn of sound effects in system settings, but that doesn't work for some reason. I also deleted all the sounds in /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts, but the sound remains. What am I doing wrong?

What alert sound has survived the turning off in system settings? Can you give an example of an event producing a sound? – muclux Apr 08 '18 at 10:18

One example would be when trying to use autocompletion in the terminal with tab. If there e.g. are two alternatives for the completion (or none). – Martin Apr 09 '18 at 08:42

So I didn't exactly find a solution but something close to it. This post 2 different alert sounds playing at once in Ubuntu 17.10 describes a similar problem and so I tried turning of all event sounds with dconf-editor in org.gnome.desktop.sound and now all system sounds are muted.
