CURRENT GUI BASED SOUND SETTINGSCurrently there are two settings for Action Sounds which can be found in
"Settings - General Settings - System - Keyclick"
-Headphone Keyclick (GUI based sounds CLICK & BEEP)
-Speaker Keyclick (Hardware based click)
Headphone Keyclick
Suggesting that the "Headphone Keyclick" setting be removed from the "System" category and moved to new sound setting based section I am suggestioning for in this post.
Speaker Keyclick
Developers would have to decide, could keep "Speaker Keyclick" in "System" category because it is more hardware based (based on if device has a built in speaker) or it could be moved to new sound settings section as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW SECTION FOR ACTION SOUNDSFirst place to start would be creating a new section for these Action Sound settings in
"Settings - General Settings - Action Sounds"
The category name would have to be decided upon by developers, as mentioned just going to use "Action Sounds" for clarity in this post, but could just be "Sounds"
Could put this setting section somewhere near "Display" and "System" in menu list
-Display
-Sounds or Action Sounds
-System
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBCATEGORIES LISTThis new category would include the following Subcategories
-"Headphone Keyclick" setting
-"Speaker Keyclick" setting (if developer decides to move from "System" section)
-Sound Toggles (see list below)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"SOUND TOGGLES" - INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SECTION-This category would include Action Sounds that could be toggled on/off.
Each item would just have one setting ON/OFF.
-Would be more complicated, but if developer wanted to add this, this could also be a place to add another setting for each Action item, to allow user to choose between different sound effects (CLICK / BEEP / maybe others?) used for each action specifically.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"SOUND TOGGLES" - LIST OF ACTIONSHere is a list of "actions" that may be helpful to include on/off toggles for.
If not too many items, could be presented as just one list.
(Just for clarity I will divide into sections for this post)
I also will mention suggestion for sound effect used (CLICK or BEEP) if it is not decided to add the setting I mentioned in the above section.
- = RB already provides this action sound
* = suggesting to add action sound for this item

If there are any other actions desired, users please let me know and I can add them to this list.
Thank You
