I've always hated the old OS X tick, but if you really want to...

I've attached the previous sound effect from my Mavericks partition.

Read the MacWorld article pickaxe provided. It contains a detailed explanation.
I googled "Yosemite Volume Sound" as I wanted to know how to switch the volume indicator sound back on. The first answer was exactly what I was looking for.
The problem, you see, is that the OP was asking the wrong question 🙂

Until I turned it back on and realised it was different, that was my interpretation of "back to what it was"....

Tried on 10.11.4 to sudo copy the old file
'/System/Library/LoginPlugins/BezelServices.loginPlugin/Contents/Resources/volume.aiff'
into a backup, but only get back this following the relevant command (with password given and pressing return):
'sudo cp volume.aiff volume_backup.aiff'
Result is:
'cp: volume_backup.aiff: Operation not permitted'.
Any clue? Are we disallowed to change anything now since SIP ? Or what else do I have to do?
