"OS X and Windows give you a nice sound to show you how loud you’ve just made it, but ChromeOS just gives you a little volume bar."

Windows actually doesn't.

Default Windows 7 install here and I hear a ding noise every time I change the volume.

Except that it does. Try left clicking on the volume icon in the tray and changing the volume.

You, like me, probably set the sound theme to 'none' to get rid of all these annoying startup/error/whatever noises.

In that case, you are right: No sound is played when you set the volume. Probably (I couldn't be bothered to test it) you usually hear one of the sound theme entries, at the new volume.
