I find myself reminded of another MMO which also took the stand that it was against the Terms of Service to modify the game in such a manner but also allowed a thread on it's official forums in which people listed the path and name for particularly annoying sounds in game. You just weren't allowed to talk about how to use that information to silence them though somehow people found other ways to get that information out as well. Basically the company was willing to turn a blind eye to what was going on as long as the players met them halfway in being circumspect about what they were doing.
Consequently my impression is that companies like Blizzard don't really object to people modifying the in game sounds but have to take the legal stance that any modification to the game files is prohibited because they don't want people trying to argue that if they're allowed to modify one type of game file then they should be allowed to modify other types of game files.
