....I just mute mine, works fine.
Same here but I mute all but the most critical functiions. If you're paying attention you don't need a sound to inform you of what is going on. If you're not paying attention no sound can help the matter. I get enough "helpful" sounds directed at me already from bosses, co-workers, GF's and even my car (which I cannot mute) so that when I'm using this thing, I want it to STFU
Silence is golden (or the machine is totally dead)
