      Any coder can decide what sounds are emitted from their phones. Simply edit out the line or turn off the audio output.

      Welcome to a world that includes Linux. As justification of my actions, would argue these features of emitting sounds after every action is addictive and since i own the phone can choose what runs on it. The only sound want is from A/V calls. Govts ability to regulate everything is not unlimited and absolute.

      Especially if there is a coder involved.
