Disable beep sound on Windows events.

Windows assigns a beep sound to some operating system events.

 

 

The beep sound is generated from the pc speakers and not using the sound card or external speakers. Examples to such system events could be a computer program having problems performing a task, or trying to write a file on a removable drive without the drive being inserted, etc.

 

 

To prevent your system to issue beep sound on operating system events you can make changes to the registry.

1.  First, click the 'Start' button, and select 'Run'. In the resulting dialog box, type "regedit".
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound
3. Right-click on "Beep" and click on 'Modify'.
4. Finally, enter the value "no" and click on 'OK'.

 

However, if you want to enable the feature back, change the value data to yes. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
