No.  If you want it moved, please use the report link and leave a note for the moderators.

I don't use Xfce4 or system sounds, so I've no clue how to help.

Re: Startup and shutdown sound

Did you try a web search for "xfce startup sound"? You might also check the Xfce forum, or post your question there: https://forum.xfce.org/index.php

Re: Startup and shutdown sound

You can post your script too, so other fellows with similar issue can get help from it or someone may help refine the scripts.

install mplayer (you can use any commandline player)

put a sound in safe location like /usr/share/sounds then

create a script in /usr/bin as startupsound

### script playing the sound
#!/usr/bin/bash

mplayer /usr/share/sounds/startupsound.(m4a/ogg/mp3 anyformat)

then save and enable permissions

later create a service in /etc/system/systemd as startupsound.service

####service
[Unit]
Description=startup sound

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/startupsound

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

then save it and enable the service
for running a shutdown script add Type, RemainAfterExit and ExecStop  to shutdown service
