Running xfce on jessie, I solved that annoyance by moving the offending
sound file out of the way.  In my case,
/usr/share/sounds/KDE-Sys-Warning.ogg would blast from the speakers when
akregator (RSS reader) came across an expired site certificate.

You could do something similar, or change permissions, for the whole kde
sound file directory.  A more proper method may exist, but simple works
fine.
