Gnus has the ability to play a jingle at startup, yet does not appear to
come with a sound file.
Is there an official gnus startup jingle? If not, does anyone have a
suitable file, like the plaintive bleat of a lost gnu or something?

See gnus-audio.el @ line 119:
(defvar gnus-startup-jingle "Tuxedomoon.Jingle4.au"
"Name of the Gnus startup jingle file.")
And look in e.g. /usr/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/sounds.
Frankly, it's rather a demented and surreal thing to hear every time
Gnus starts. I enabled it for a while several times, but invariably
I've had to do away with it after a fairly short time.

Ahh... It seems to be an xemacs thing, unless the rpm'd emacs
packages I installed were deficient:
[~] the003 $ rpm -ql emacs emacs-nox emacs-X11 emacs-el | egrep au$
[~] the003 $

Though I've never heard nor seen a gnu, I don't really think it sounds
a lot like a lost gnu plaintively bleaking. I was really looking
forward to hearing an interesting sound :-|
