Found a solution,open terminal and write sudo mv /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts this will move the file bell.ogg to the other directory, the write cd /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts , now, sudo mv bark.ogg bark1.ogg (this will change the name of the file bark.ogg), then write sudo mv bell.ogg bark.ogg (this will change the name of the file bell.ogg to bark.ogg) finally go to the sound setting into the setting menu and select Bark as the sound effect, but considering that we replaced bark with bell, bell sound will be played.

Gnome Control Center version: 1:3.26.2-0ubuntu0.2 There are five options in the Sound Effects tab: Default, Bark, Drip, Glass and Sonar. Selecting Default gives the same sound as Drip, which is not the default I had before. I think the sound options come from /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts where I found Ogg files for the Bark, Drip, Glass and Sonar options (but not for Default). The /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg seems to have been the original default alert sound, to which I cannot restore. I am not sure if this is related, but when I opened the Sound Effects tab for the first time, the Alert Volume slider was at 0% and grayed out. The alert sound was working fine, so I guess that default settings from elsewhere were in effect until I started adjusting things in this tab and thereby overriding those default settings. I cannot restore to that grayed out state either in this tab.
