A sound scheme is a coordinated set of sounds for all the desktop actions.
You can change these sounds all at once (or turn them off entirely) by choosing a new sound scheme, or you can change only a few sounds and leave the rest alone.
Most actions on the desktop (closing a window, for example) are accompanied by a sound effect.
