It looks to me like you are installing to the USB drive, instead of
writing the image to it to install later. The drums sound when using
the live session, before it is installed to any drive. When the screen
"Try Ubuntu" "Install Ubuntu" comes up, the drums should sound. Hitting
Ctrl+s after those drums starts Orca and allows a screen-reader install.

I could be wrong, since I don't use USB drives to do any installations.
I only run them from CD-r.
