I'm pretty sure you're referring to the lock sound, not unlock sound. I believe it's gone for everyone, you included.
Else, post proof since you're the only one claiming otherwise.

I have both, I will post proof once I get another recording device (being my girlfriends iphone)
Edit : I don't seem to have it anymore but I did have it when I updated from iOS 6.1.4 to iOS 7 GM
I could too, I mean... Whatever... I can't really live without it but I think I will be okay... No, seriously I want it back, fine, I WANT IT BACK NOW!!!

Certain things we interact with produce pleasant or satisfying sounds:
- The notchy sound when you shift gears in a sports car
- The sound of racking the slide of a handgun
- The sound of a can of soda opening
The unlock sound to me was part of that list. It feels empty now. At least take away the lock sound also instead of leaving it half-finished.

I'd agree with you there. I can't believe they'd remove it.

It feels weird without the Unlock sound.

I thought for sure apple would have new unlock & lock sounds, not just leave out unlock, I thought they were just playing with us in the beta, hinting that new sounds were coming. ...any chance this is an oversight? They got all the new tones in, but forgot about unlock/lock? (I know, I'm dreaming). 
I don't mind it going in all honesty, fed up of Android fanatics coming up to me randomly trying to sell me the benefits of Android and to get rid of my iPhone, often triggered by the unlock sound. I can hear their teeth braces chattering ready to pounce.
Like religous zealots some of them.
Having to explain each and every time that I also like Android and owned them for years, is tiresome.

In settings they still refer to it as "Lock Sounds" so it is odd that they would have just a single one for locking (not to mention why for locking and not for unlocking to begin with--either both or neither make sense really, not just one or the other on their own).I thought for sure apple would have new unlock & lock sounds, not just leave out unlock, I thought they were just playing with us in the beta, hinting that new sounds were coming. ...any chance this is an oversight?

My theory: once you posted your plan to borrow your gf's phone to record it, it knew you were up to something and ran away. What you should have done is sneak up on it by surprise and record it before it had the chance.

Is it really in plural in english? Because in my language it's correctly translated - it says "lock sound"

Thought I'd post here rather than start a new thread.
Not a fan of the new lock sound.
It's a bit Ba-Doom-Tish for my liking and it's very loud. No chance of closing your phone surreptitiously any more.

That's weird, it's obviously removed on purpose, and they correcty put it in singular in my language. It's weird that they left plural in English

I read somewhere that the unlock sound is revised, that is has more of an "echo" sound.
Really? Why?
same here!

It is still present in Sounds at the very bottom "Lock Sounds" on iPhone 5 anyway

Yes, but there is only a sound when locking the device, not when unlocking.

I have no unlock sound on iPhone 5, iPad Mini Wifi, and iPad 3 WiFi
so can we pretty much confirm that the unlock sound is gone?
