Initially the window only showed favorites, which are symbolic links, 
which are deleted (on ⌘⌫), hence the sound. I kept it for recent 
items because I wanted a clear indication that one had pressed the 
proper key (since ⌫ itself does not work and there is no visual 
animation of the item disappearing).

But I agree that the sound is not appropriate; I’ll move to view-based 
table views which will make it easier to have inline remove buttons 
(like the Find in Folder results) and show an appropriate delete 
animation, and then I’ll remove the sound — I may also get rid of 
the favorites part.
