Well, I suppose you could opt to use a command instead, then enter no command or some null one. My pet hate is annunciator sounds at full volume. You might be listening to some music and BOOM! Or, you just had the volume set for listening to music, but not playing any, and BOOM! I don't want to be winding volumes up and down all the time, so I re-recorded them at reduced volumes. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
