That looks like a configuration option.
No, it isn't.
I am now using the official SM 2.6.1 from mozilla.org. Same exception.

I have Fluxbox installed here too. I logged out of KDE and into
Fluxbox. Seamonkey does NOT play the sound when in Fluxbox.

Now, installation of esound was necessary for my SeaMonkey to be able to
