Re: sound, it's very common to create a musical 'ident', something that is tied to the visuals and/or the underlying product. If you think of Intel's four-note signature, or McDonald's whistling, or AT&T's ringtone, or even the startup sounds of XP of Win7 - all very recognisable, and all very short. So that's one option, although most 35+ year olds would shudder at the cacophonous memory of an entire office starting XP at not-quite-the-same-time.
I like the idea of some sonorous bass notes humming through the amp to welcome you to Kodi - it's almost reminiscent of the Pearl & Dean expectation for any Brits of a certain age. You could always have an option to disable any startup sound - it makes more sense on OpenElec than it does on, say, your 'phone.
