I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and was wondering if there was any way to insert a startup and shutdown sound (ideally using a piece of software). If anybody has any ideas, they would be much appreciated.

There is already a startup sound. Or you meant a custom one? – Parto Mar 15 '14 at 16:10

You could make that (and other customizations) by replacing the default sound files in /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo (broadly in /usr/share/sounds/*).
Try to replace (keep a backup if you want to) these files and check:
/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login.ogg
/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-logout.ogg
(remember to use the correct extensions and permissions. You have to use elevated privileges to do the operations. Use sudo when doing it from terminal or launch Nautilus with gksu nautilus & and then make the customizations. Please comment if you need more help with this.)
