sound settings

Thanks to a generous son, I have two computers, a laptop and a desktop. I enjoy using both, but strangely enough, have the one set to make a 'coing' when an email arrives, or I save a document, and the other not. What I realized yesterday was that I now subconsciously wait and expect to hear the 'coing' when I hit control 's'. It's like a confirmation. But really, do I need that?

A while ago I was intrigued to learn that digital cameras had to incorporate a click sound when a photo was taken, even though that's not necessary. I'm not sure if this still apllies, and I'm not totally sure what my underlying thought is here. But perhaps it has something to do with how we create unconscious expectations for ourselves?
