Quieter Kodi GUI Sounds (-12 & -24 dB) - pure.by - 2017-01-16 On some systems Kodi Interface Sounds can be too loud compared to media volume.

After downloading the above files, simply go to Settings → Add-ons → Install from zip and enable one in Settings → System → Audio . Restart Kodi and you're done.Of course it would be much more convenient to have quiet sounds available from the Official Kodi.tv Repository, but I cannot publish there myself. If anyone wants to upload them — please do so. Thank you!
