Yes. The freedesktop notification spec has optional hints to specify a
sound when the notification is displayed[0]. We support those hints,
so if a sound is specified, and sounds are not disabled for that
particular application in notification settings, we play the sound -
if either of those is not the case, then there won't be a sound (most
likely the former - in my experience, there are very few apps that do
specify a sound with notifications).
