noises in fedora 11

How do I get rid of the silly sound effects in Gnome in Fedora 11,
e.g. a drum-like sound when changing windows with alt-tab.

turning off system/preferences/sound/sound effects does not do it.

Why is the default to even have these on? They're extremely loud and
make the machine unusable as a media player, and I don't really need
the audio feedback that I've done something like switched focus
between windows.

And what does this menu option do if it doesn't turn off the sound effects?

Unless I need to log out and back in to make it work? I've avoided
doing that so far, as if that's the case it's a serious bug (since
it's the kind of thing that could force a new user of Fedora to switch
distributions) and I don't want to lose the evidence/example of what
happened.
