Yup it's gone. No-one has actually proved otherwise. The only person I've seen claiming it hadn't gone couldn't prove it as they claimed their device magically stopped doing it when asked for proof....
Got a tip for us?

iPad smart covers and other covers that lock the device - the sound is useful for them.
You're referring to the LOCK sound. That's still there, no one is saying otherwise. The UNLOCK sound is gone.
retarded.
Still makes zero sense as to why they'd keep it for every version and then remove it after the second or third beta.
In my language it's in singular now, it was in plural before. So i'm guessing they removed it for good, but it's still odd they left it in plural in EnglishIf the unlock sound was removed on purpose and there's only supposed to be the lock sound, then there is still at least this one bug - the fact it is still referred to as Lock Sounds (PLURAL) in the settings
But... you don't use a phone if you are blind and even if the unfortunate person does, it would be very limited functions that she/he could barely use.
Have you not heard of VoiceOver? Blind people flock to iPhones, because Apple really cares about acessibility (which makes this all the more puzzling.) I think there was even a WWDC video recently in which one of the segments was about a blind man who used the iPhone to help him navigate.
Seriously? You might want to look into that even a tiny bit more before commenting on it.

To be fair, we still don't know if this was an intentional change, and whether or not it truly won't be changed back. Just the inconsistencies of the lock sound being there and unlock not being there and the English (which is the main) labeling using the plural form of "sounds", those are enough to make you wonder even just a bit before completely dismissing it.
