Public bug reported: One is the alert sound chosen through GNOME's sound settings, the other seems to be the default alert from the sound theme, which we can't change without using dconf-editor.
When an alert sound is triggered, both sounds play at the same time instead of one. Things I've tried: - Disabled/muted the alert sound from GNOME Settings. This mutes both of the alert sounds. I expect only one to play. - Switched through different alert sounds in GNOME Settings. Problem persists. - Logged out and back in. Problem persists. How to reproduce: - Go to GNOME Settings, select the Sound category, go to the tab Sound Effects and select any of the alert sounds in the list. - Make sure sounds are not muted. - Test it by opening a terminal window and pressing Backspace without typing any other characters. This will produce the sound. Running Ubuntu 18.04.2, up-to-date, fresh install.
