I'm plagued with calendar event sounds due to bug #1533681. Obviously, that bug should be fixed on its own, however it got me thinking about event notifications. A couple of ideas from IRC to throw into the mix:
07:57 < jdstrand> more constructively, I think being able to choose if event notifications should sound or not and having event notifications show up in the notifications area would be great (if the event sounds are on, perhaps only show missed events there, otherwise 07:59 < davmor2> jdstrand: I think the solution is in the indicator have silent mode, night mode and holiday mode. and then have the settings for those be adjustable in sounds in the settings app to suit the indiviuals 08:01 < jdstrand> davmor2: you are talking about the notifications indicator? yes, that would be nice because making it silent wouldn't prevent incoming call sounds. If changing notifications indicator sounds, I wonder if would/should quiet incoming texts... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu.

You can't find it in the "Notifications" area of System Settings, and it uses its own notification sound regardless of what is set in "Sound". Also, reminders are not muted when the phone is in silent mode (I guess it's related). I'm on bq Aquaris, r20 and with the latest calendar-app. --- --- --- --- UX Comment: Calendar Notifications need to be overhauled: -- Calendar Notifications are displayed for too brief a period and should conform to the same timing as other notifications. -- Calendar Notifications are not currently appearing in the notification tray within indicators and should be. -- Calendar Notification title is misleading ('Alarm') and should make clear that the notification relates to a calendar event ('Event') and not a alarm-clock event. -- Calendar Notification's should NOT override silent mode (unlike clock-alarms) although the notification should still be displayed, appear in the notification within indicators and cause the device to vibrate (if enabled) - This is accepted/common behaviour for notifications of this type on mobile.
