Ok here is what I did. It's a real hack but it seems to work.

Assuming you don't use the 'Purr.aiff' sound for anything else and you won't miss it ;-) ... I went into the Sounds folder and made a copy of Purr.aiff. Then I downloaded Audacity and edited the original Purr.aiff to just be a fraction of a second of no sound whatsoever.

This seems to work fine now. I had to quit OmniFocus and open it again before it stopped making the sound on iCal sync (sound might be cached or something by the app?)

Of course, the edited Purr.aiff will no doubt get overwritten again with some future OS X patch or upgrade but this is at least a temporary workaround until hopefully Omni gives us an option to turn this annoying sound off!!

Cheers
