You suddenly realize
it is unnaturally   
quiet.

I like it, a bit basic, but it works for me :)

Actually, there has been an accessory for Nethack that added sound effects, a program called nhsound. If I remember correctly, it only works on the DOS version; it is a TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) program that is triggered by change in the topmost row of the screen, and plays sounds when "sound" messages are displayed.

This one really grew on me as I realized I'm so accustomed to hearing chimes and ticks and the like from computers these days that Nethack does seem spookily silent. Even bank machines talk and play music these days, and I do wish they wouldn't.

There's some patches for sound effects in the Windows version too, I believe.

Think of how infinitely creepy that would be, creepy dungeon ambience in the background, and out of nothing you hear the near-silent pitter-patter of newt(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of
its time in the water.
        [ Oxford's Student's Dictionary of Current English ]

"Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."
        [ Macbeth, by William Shakespeare ]

Some frontends had sound at least like Falcon's Eye (no longer developer) or Vulture's Eye (still developed). Also there is some code (maybe in Slash'EM only?) for using the PC/Amiga/whatever speaker to play the notes of musical instruments (like passtune to the castle).

NetHack need no heathen sound effects.

Just like NetHack need no heathen fancy hi-res 3D graphics.
