Re: any sounds needed?

So I can assume, my sounds fall under the category of Clippy, as i 
haven't received any response as well.
I am wondering, what kind of sounds .do. apply to the way the GNOME 
users would like to have. I personally feel that a voice telling you ' 
welcome to gnome' gets irritated as well, at long terms.
