to my understand the only way to do that is deny that group access to control panel so they can't setup any type of sounds through mmc. after you costumize their pcs then you prohibe them to get access to controll panel

if you have XP all around you can add this line of code to your logon script.

net stop "windows audio"

This will stop the service that allows sound. It only works on XP.
