• Have you disabled the config file or just in Minecraft?

    You habe to disable the IC2 sounds separately ind the "IC2.cfg", located in the ".minecraft\config" folder.
    To do so find the line "soundsEnabled=true" and change it to "soundsEnabled=false"

    This should turn the sounds off, at least is works for me.
