I haven't had much success finding this elusive setting. Several of my
systems with the XFCE desktop are behaving this way. grepping in
~/.config didn't find anything useful. The only way to mitigate this
behavior is still to turn down "System Sounds" volume in the audio mixer.
I have a sneaky suspicion that XFCE inherited this from Gnome. There
must be a Gnome configuration knob for this, if you're running the
Gnome desktop; but this is not configurable in XFCE. You get this
annoying drip sounds, similar to one of the annoyances from the old
"Doggone Tired" MGM short, and no way to change it to something less
annoying.
Have you tried turning off this setting:
Appearance / Settings / Enable Event Sounds
???
An odd place for a sound-related setting, but there it is...
