On some systems Kodi Interface Sounds can be too loud compared to media volume. Depending on your hardware setup and media source, big difference in loudness may cause discomforting or even painful experience. To solve this I have created two sound add-ons with reduced UI volume, using Audacity:
 

• Kodi UI Sounds (-12 dB) [50% original volume] Mega | Dropbox
  
• Kodi UI Sounds (-24 dB) [25% original volume] Mega | Dropbox
  

After downloading the above files, simply go to Settings → Add-ons → Install from zip and enable one in Settings → System → Audio. Restart Kodi and you're done.

Of course it would be much more convenient to have quiet sounds available from the Official Kodi.tv Repository, but I cannot publish there myself. If anyone wants to upload them — please do so. Thank you!

Thanks to @scott967 for his help.

Thanks for pointing this out! I've updated Dropbox links and added a mirror.

Apparently, this is what happened:

[...] As of March 15, 2017 the Public folder in your Dropbox account has been converted into a standard folder. By default this folder is private to your account. This transition will occur automatically.
Here's what you need to know:
- All of the files in your Public folder will remain safe, but public links to those files will stop working
- If someone visits a link to a file in your Public folder, they'll see an error page [...]

I could have missed it, but I don't remember being (properly) notified by Dropbox about this change...

Thanks a lot!!!

No, but I could probably roll my own.  Give me a bit to work on it.

That would be brilliant, thank you

OK I built these 2 addons, but they seem awful quiet.

I want a MC sans noise, distraction & nonsense and have therefore always set Kodi to silent. However, I need sounds in two situations:

• ALWAYS: when taking screenshots.
  
• WHEN DEBUGGING: alert & notifications sounds.
  

I suppose I could achieve this sound profile by removing some mounds & editing sounds.xml from your add-on?

Could I do the same customizing the defaults? The sounds files/xml in skin folder don't do the job.
