Windows 10: No sound in Start Navigation of Windows Default?

Why is there no sound in the Start Navigation feature in Windows Default sound scheme? Do I have to update Windows in order to get the sound? I can have it sound manually, but usually the default scheme of Start Navigation has a sound, right?
