To be very clear: This bug is a feature request. The feature requested
is for the Ubiquity installer to provide an option for a Quiet System.
This option would reside under the Advanced dialogue, which is found on
the last screen of the installer.

If the Quiet System option is checked, then the installer would make these 
changes to the new system
1) The pcspkr would be blacklisted
2) The Gnome/KDE sound theme would have all sounds (such as the login sound) 
disabled.

Yes, the changes affected would be post-installation.


> Couldn't you just turn your speakers off

No, laptop speakers cannot be disabled.


> I don't see how this is really a bug in the installer

It is not a bug in the installer. It is a feature request for the
installer.

Apparently people have differing opinions concerning what those defaults
should be. Enough people like the startup sound that is currently exists
as the default. However, enough people would prefer it to not be there
so this bug report (feature request) exists.
