The volume should be lower by default. (20%, 40%, etc...)

Even when you disable the little bit of intro music and set "disable startup sounds" the little logon bongo sample STILL PLAYS on every install of Hardy I've ever done.

A quick google shows...

"disable startup sound" - 872 hits
"disable startup sound" ubuntu - 671 hits

That is OVER 75% of pages pertaining to disabling startup sounds are about doing so on Ubuntu, not windows, not mac, Ubuntu.

Besides startup sounds are annoying and should be off by default anyway. If you want them on, turn them on - simple.

For those that DO like them I see no need to make everyone suffer your twinkly noises, especially as some peoples sole volume control is software only!

Even if you disagree with that then they should be disabled on first time boots like the live CD for the reasons sf_007 outlines above.

Gah! I hate them! *Grrrrr*

It has to be soft and subtle, so that it doesn't sound annoying even at 100% volume.

The current one is strong, and could be heard miles away when at 100%. Not every user appreciates that; My dad used to avoid booting into Ubuntu because of the same reason (Of course I fixed it when I figured out).

Loud is an understatement! It's offensive, the intro sound has scared either me or a family member more than once..
