The survey about system settings did reveal some confusion about the system bell \
(i.e. there was no clear association with other settings). Most users do not even \
know what the system bell can be used for (and even experts doubt to have the \
hardware). But there are still people who want it for low latency audio feedback [1] \
and notification on the console [2]. Nevertheless I agree with removing this feature \
or rather harmonizing with default notification. As a notification feature you could \
bind the system bell to some special activities, like console tasks. And disabled \
people adjust notifications instead of accessibility, or both.
