A simple question: does iOS7 has a sound when charged like iOS6?

There is, but it's a new sound.
Make sure the mute switch is not on and that you don't have Do Not Disturb active.
It's there, but it sounds differently and is not as loud as in iOS 6, so it is easy to miss.
Thank you everyone. I just want to make sure since I didn't turn on DND and I still can't hear a thing. (Other sounds are fine.)
Below are the sounds in my Settings. There is no sound for plugging in. Are you guys seeing the same thing?

Now I hear it! Not sure if it's because I restarted or it's just there from the beginning. It's so FAINT. I have to put my ear very close to iPad to hear it (and that negate the purpose of the sound).
Apple WTH? You don't need to change something that works..
I am not sure but I think the sound is the sound you get on OS X Mail if there is no new mail. Or it sounds very similar.
You don't get the option to turn off or on the charging sounds. Is your phone's ringer volume turned up? I'll attach an audio file of what it sounds like.

Its different and softer (and better for a lot of people that way), and while it is somewhat quiter in a sense it's not that drastic if a difference.
Before I just plugged my iPad (in case) and it went plingg!! And I knew it's charging and walked away. (I don't have to check or see if it's charging, or if I turned on the plug or not - it's the extension plug). Took about a sec. Now I can't just do that. I have to open the cover to check. Worse, the big battery icon is also gone. Now there's charging percentage but on iPad 2 this is delayed for a few secs. You don't see it immediately when you open the cover. It's quite a let down now that the good, quick, and perfect experience was just gone.

Strange that the new sound isn't loud enough for you. But I guess it can be different for different people.
Yeah, really strange. Reading this thread I almost think it's just a bit softer but that's not my case at all.
