           Summary: When in a plasma session there are button click sounds

SUMMARY
When running in a KDE plasma session (and ONLY in a KDE plasma session) I get
"button click sounds" in GTK programs. But not in native Qt programs. Flatpaks
are not affected.

Muting the "Playback stream" "Notification Sounds" shuts up this sound. I have
searched high and low for a setting to just turn the button interaction sound
off, but found nothing.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log in to KDE Plasma (X11 or Wayland, both are affected)
2. Start any GTK 2 or 3 program, such as Gimp or dconf-editor
3. Click on a "normal" button with text on it.

E.g. for Gimp you need to click on the buttons in the settings dialog, not on
the normal tool selector. For dconf-editor you can click the "search icon". 

GTK 4 programs using libadwaita appear not to be affected.

NOTE: This does NOT happen in for example a Cinnamon session. But it does
happen in KDE Plasma.

OBSERVED RESULT
A "pock" sound. See attached screen recording.


EXPECTED RESULT


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
