No, no sound. I'd expect the acknowledgement-sound as when attaching a mouse or anything else. ETA: And yet the charging light did come on.

The Kindle can not export the file system over the USB port while it is using the USB port for audio.

O.T:
I forgot that last night myself, I wanted to read but too dark in room for un-lighted screen and I didn't want to turn on lights.

Sh..! - I could have just let the Kindle read the book to me!
Voice View isn't on.

I hope you solved your unlit-reading dilemma to the satisfaction of both the kindle and yourself.
