You're right, there's no sound with es-simple-dark, but that's not an accident. You can make some custom edits if you'd like. Compare carbon.xml:

		<textlist name="gamelist">
			<selectorColor>1c1c1c</selectorColor>
			<selectedColor>8b0000</selectedColor>
			<primaryColor>969696</primaryColor>
			<secondaryColor>7a6161</secondaryColor>
			<fontPath>./art/Cabin-Bold.ttf</fontPath>
			<forceUppercase>1</forceUppercase>
			<scrollSound>./art/select.wav</scrollSound>
		</textlist>

To simple-dark.xml

		<textlist name="gamelist">
			<selectorColor>151515</selectorColor>
			<selectedColor>0098a6</selectedColor>
			<primaryColor>ebebeb</primaryColor>
			<secondaryColor>ebebeb</secondaryColor>
			<fontPath>./art/Roboto-Regular.ttf</fontPath>
			<fontSize>0.03</fontSize>
			<forceUppercase>1</forceUppercase>
		</textlist>

Just note you'll have to copy over the sound file to the simple-dark art folder, or type the full path to just look in carbon's art folder.

Theme files are found in /etc/emulationstation/themes

@wetriner Yeh i have copyed the "Select.wav" to "/etc/emulationstation/themes/simple-dark/art"
And incremented the line <scrollSound>./art/select.wav</scrollSound> on /etc/emulationstation/themes/simple-dark/simple-dark.xml

Wokrs perfect :)

By the way, how can i commented the program lines like you did on the forum?

Thank you.

If you want to learn more markdown, there are probably some good guides available online with the syntax. I only really know enough to get by. For the code you can either start each line with four spaces or you can use three backticks(`) to start and end the block.
