But in today&#8217;s windowses, this seems somehow to be replaced by a wave or at least it&#8217;s routed through the sound daemon (so if your volume happened to be on the high side, you&#8217;re <em>beeped<\/em>). The only situation in which this seems handy to me, is when you&#8217;re working remotely and you somehow like to punish your ears with system sounds. Anyway, I believe in a standard setup they should leave a PC beep a PC beep or, even better, effectively don&#8217;t produce sounds when the user selects a &#8220;no sounds&#8221; sound scheme!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway.. so how to get rid of it?<\/p>\n<p>Simple, the beep is actually caused by a system service (it&#8217;s hidden from the services screen). So you can disable it by typing:<\/p>\n<p>         <code>sc config beep start= disabled<\/code><\/p>\n<p>or if you want to stop it temporarily, use the &#8220;net start\/stop&#8221; commands.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, disabling the service, does not stop it, so it only becomes effective on next reboot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>yes, that&#8217;s how Windows makes you jump like half a meter in the air after just having enjoyed a nice movie.
