Hello Ismael, I have additional feedback on the volume issue:

For myself I don't want to turn off the beep sounds, I want the audio feedback
but for me it's just too loud nearing the 100% volume. As it disappears (like
shown on the video from kuxala) within a fractions of a second, I need to spam
the change volume button on my keyboard while keeping the Sound settings open,
placing the mouse cursor over the area it appears and then either spam click or
use the mouse wheel to change the loudness. I have added a screenshot with the
same description.

You can try this yourself:
Spam the change the volume with keyboard keys → feedback sound plays
The "audio-volume-change" stream appears in the Audio widget for ~0.3 seconds
Very quickly scroll with mouse wheel to adjust the stream volume before it
disappears
This is nearly impossible to do reliably due to the short visibility window

What I have tried in the past are those workarounds:
a) The "quick scroll" method described above (very difficult)
b) Manually editing the .oga file with ffmpeg to reduce its volume (hacky)
c) Disabling it entirely like you described (loses functionality - I do not
want to do this)

Maybe there is a better way? Or could we add a persistent volume slider in
System Settings → Sound → "System Sounds Volume" or similar, that controls the
volume of all system event sounds (including the volume change feedback)?
Many thanks!
