Bug Description
I have just upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04
Now, every time I hit the TAB key in a terminal to autocomplete a file name, when there is no option or more than one, an annoying and ungodly loud drum sound plays.
I'm pretty sure I disabled that sound years ago, probably even before I even upgraded to 16.04.
I don't want to be forced to re-configure everything. If I turned off a certain kind of system sounds, I expect this configuration to be kept after I upgrade to a newer release. Otherwise I might as well wipe out my hard disk and do a clean install, if you are going to reset my settings anyway.
And by the way, if the sound had been chosen with a minimum of taste and was not disproportionately loud (my global volume is pretty low) I probably wouldn't need to turn it off in the first place, as in principle it can be useful.

And if I go to Settings -> Sound -> Sound Effects, there is an "Alert volume" and a "Choose an alert sound", but none of those in the list is the current sound. So whatever this sound is, it's not the "alert sound", and its configuration is undiscoverable.
