1. `emacs -Q`
2. Press "C-g"

Expected: Emacs beeps, like the X build.
Observed: silence.

bug#64978: 29.1.50; C-g doesn't produce sound on PGTK

What Wayland compositor is installed on your system?

The X build ``beeps'' with Xkb or the X protocol, which in fact results
in a beep event being sent to a listening audio server module that plays
a user configurable sound each time it registers such an event.

On Wayland, GDK is responsible for playing the beep sound through the
Wayland protocol.  I don't really know how that part works, but it's
unlikely that any failures there can be fixed by us Emacs developers.

Thank you, I am on KDE Plasma 5.27 (Wayland).
Indeed after switching to GNOME and configuring event sound, I can get the
desired beep.

But by still leaving the config as-is and switching to Plasma or Hyprland, the
sound is gone again.

So this doesn't sound like a bug in Emacs, and I'm closing this bug.
