you can find all system sounds in
Code:
cd /usr/share/sounds/
if i'm not wrong it should be enough (needs root)
Code:
mv /usr/share/sounds/ui-shutdown.wav /usr/share/sounds/ui-shutdown.wav.off

If I change off to on, would it make the start tune come back again? Or does that require another command?

I think "mv /usr/share/sounds/ui-shutdown.wav.off /usr/share/sounds/ui-shutdown.wav" would turn it back on.

Basically, by appending .off (or anything else) to it's filename, the system can't find the wav so it can't play it.

At least that is my understanding...

Does anyone else hear the linus torvalds message? I used to have my tablet in spanish, but now i switched back to English and it sounds on my startup. Its kinda funny, but I would like to have the option to shut it off sometimes.

Code:
$ gconftool -g /system/systemui/splash/shutdown_soundfilename
/usr/share/sounds/ui-shutdown.wav
So,
Code:
$ gconftool -s /system/systemui/splash/shutdown_soundfilename --type=string ''
switches it off, and
Code:
$ gconftool -s /system/systemui/splash/shutdown_soundfilename --type=string /usr/share/sounds/ui-shutdown.wav
re-enables it.

That was for the shutdown sound. Concerning the startup tune, the filename /usr/share/sounds/ui-wake_up_tune.wav seems to be hardcoded in /usr/bin/osso_startup_greeting.launch, which is a binary executable (not a script). So, the only way would be to rename the sound file.

Edit: Also, another way to turn off the startup tune is to turn off the sound completely.

Noob Method:

Go to control panel, then go to sounds, then turn off system sounds...
