Re: "unnecessary computer sounds"

A while back I was waiting at traffic lights on a motorbike at a very busy major junction in a city and I heard a siren going. I waited even after the lights turned green, looking in every direction expecting an emergency vehicle to nip across the front of me at any moment. Nothing. Eventually I moved forwards slowly and discovered it was a police car two vehicles behind me. The sound had no apparent point of origin and it's flashing lights were obscured by the vehicle immediately behind me, so instead of the siren expediting the police car's urgent need to go, it actually delayed it.
