It's nice that KDE Plasma plays sounds on startup, but that awful click sound (or whatever they call it) is annoying. Anyone know how to change the startup sound in KDE Plasma?

Best Answer

In KDE Plasma 5.18, follow

System Settings > Notifications > Applications > Plasma Workspace > Configure Events > Login

Manage Notifications > Applications > Event Source > KDE Workspace

Scroll down to 'Login' and from there you can select a new sound. The screenshot below illustrates this on my own system:
