When you log in to Ubuntu 24.10<\/a>, a new startup sound greets you. This prolonged audio clip builds into a melody that may wear thin over time. Fortunately, users can disable this sound or replace it with something more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

Log-in sounds were once a common feature in Ubuntu but were disabled starting from version 12.04 LTS following user feedback indicating annoyance. Fast forward over a decade, and Ubuntu 24.10 reintroduces the startup sound as an anniversary nod, specifically to the first login sound used in Ubuntu 4.10.<\/p>\n

While some may appreciate this nostalgic touch, others might prefer silence.<\/p>\n

How to Disable Ubuntu Startup Sound<\/h3>\n

  3. Scroll down to the bottom.<\/li>\n
  4. Toggle the Startup Sound<\/strong> switch to \u2018off\u2019.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This will eliminate the audio accompaniment when logging in.<\/p>\n

    How to Change the Startup Sound<\/h3>\n
