Having the sound effects on has many advantages. You can hear the CC activate, hear when the enemy heroes get aggro'd, hear when your troops or heroes are dying, hear when different defenses are firing, etc. There can be a lot of things happening during an attack, and the sound effects enable you to keep track of it all better and react to things faster, because you can't be looking everywhere at once. I feel like turning the sound effects off would actually be handicapping yourself slightly.
