The nosound parameter is a good suggestion, and it would be a fix for the users who install Ubuntu.
However, the problem comes in with the bootabled CD ("LiveCD") version of Ubuntu--which most users cannot change. The bootable CD image has the loud startup sound enabled. Instead of forcing users to remember to boot a special way in order to avoid the sound, the sound should be disabled by default.
