You have been subscribed to a public bug:
The package `pulseaudio` installs a startup script in
`/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop`,
which itself runs `/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11`,
which loads a number of x11 related modules in `pulseaudio`.
One of these modules is `module-x11-bell`,
which makes `pulseaudio` play a sound each time a system bell is emitted
(usually by terminal applications, such as bash or vim).
This is redundant with gnome-shell, which is also able to handle the system bell
(through the gsetting key `org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds`).
The gnome system bell is directly configurable by the user (Settings > Sound),
so it should be preferred over pulseaudio's own system bell.
I suggest to patch the `/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11`,
to avoid loading `start-pulseaudio-x11` if it detects it is running in Gnome
Shell
(e.g. if GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE is set).
