This sound is an accessibility feature (without it, blind people can't
know when to type their username/password).

The problem is then when multiple users use the same PC: who is allowed
to change the login screen?  Considering that changing this might result
in security issues, I don't think it's strange to find it in the
"Administration" menu.


OTOH, maybe the "Appearance" panel could have a button to the login
screen settings that's only visible to people who are members of the
'admin' group.  (So it would still require root credentials.)
