            Bug ID: 506261
           Summary: Authentication dialog plays sound not listed in system
                    notification sounds
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: policykit-kde-agent-1
      Version First 6.4.1
       Reported In:
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

  Target Milestone: ---

When opening an app that triggers Polkit authentication (e.g., GParted), the
authentication dialog plays a sound.
However, this sound is not listed under System Settings → Notifications, and
cannot be changed, disabled, or identified from KDE’s normal sound system.
This suggests the dialog is playing a sound outside of KDE's notification
framework.
Expected behavior: If a sound is played when authentication is required, it
should be listed as a system notification event so users can configure or
disable it.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open GParted in KDE Plasma
2. Wait for authentication dialog
3. Notice that a sound is played
4. Check System Settings → Notifications: no relevant sound is shown

System Info:

- KDE Plasma version: 6.4.1
- KDE Frameworks version: 6.15.0
- Linux distribution: Arch Linux
- polkit-kde-agent-1 version: 6.4.1-1
