I somehow activated the "full battery" alert tone in Ubuntu 18.04, now I want to disable it since my battery has gone faulty and it rings often and is loud too.

How can I remove that tone or how can I disable the service that is looking after battery status and sending a alert that battery is full?

by Default in Ubuntu 18.04,

gsettings for the schema org.gnome.desktop.sound and the key event-sounds is true

pratap@i7:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds
true
pratap@i7:~$ 

making the key value to false will stop all the event-sounds..

to stop only the battery-full event-sound..

check the sound theme-name

pratap@i7:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.sound theme-name
'ubuntu'
pratap@i7:~$

List and find if it has battery-full sound file..

pratap@i7:~$ ls /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/
bell.ogg               dialog-information.ogg   phone-outgoing-calling.ogg
button-pressed.ogg     dialog-question.ogg      service-login.ogg
button-toggle-off.ogg  dialog-warning.ogg       service-logout.ogg
button-toggle-on.ogg   message-new-instant.ogg  system-ready.ogg
desktop-login.ogg      message.ogg              window-slide.ogg
desktop-logout.ogg     phone-incoming-call.ogg
dialog-error.ogg       phone-outgoing-busy.ogg
pratap@i7:~$ 

Example Sound theme that have battery-full sound file..

pratap@i7:~$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.sound theme-name Smooth
pratap@i7:~$ ls /usr/share/sounds/Smooth/

Rename the file battery-full.oga with below command..

sudo mv /usr/share/sounds/Smooth/stereo/battery-full.oga /usr/share/sounds/Smooth/stereo/battery-full.oga.bak

Thats it.. to make a event sound.. it cant find battery-full.oga as it has been renamed as battery-full.oga.bak
