I still think that sounds would be irritating for a majority of the players. One of the Muds I play has sound support for things like pages and there is also a feature called 'metal detector' that will tick when you enter a room with a metal deposit. Since that is selective and limited and happens very seldom, it works well.

But to have sound effects at every stroke in battle, or happy jingles every time a player levels - ugh! It's bad enough with the visual spam without adding audio spam as well.

But sure, if it is an option that can be toggled on and off and would be off by default, I recognise that it could have advantages for a minority of players.
