Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise

When you try an autocomplete in a shell, on Windows 10, where there is no completion Windows 10 plays a harp/chiming sound.

I would like to turn that off.

I found a dialog by clicking the sound icon in the Task Bar that has a long list of sounds and events to turn off. The problem is that the names of the events aren't descriptive.

Does anyone know the name of the event I described?

  • try "asterisk". IIRC that is the default windows shell alert when something related to input doesn't work right. its been a long time, but thats where I'd start

In the Windows System Sounds CPL, use the ►Test button to preview sounds.

Preview Sound

  • Start an application that has the Autocomplete feature.
  • Press Windows, type sou and select Change system sounds.
  • Select a sound.
  • Click on ►Test button.
  • When you find the correct sound, select the first item, (none), in the Sounds drop-down list of files to eliminate it.
  • Test Autocomplete to see if that is the correct sound.

You may try changing the default beep sound to : (none). but it may probably also affect other notifications sounds.

I have not the same issue as you, but it may be related.

I am annoyed by the notification sound when a chrome page search fails, and to fix that I changed the sound in the config dialog mentionned in the comment of DrMoishe Pippik here.

I found that the default beep is the one that matches my issue, you may have to test yourself if its the one that bothers you, I could not reproduce your sound on powershell or cmd with a failed autocomplete using tab and a random string. You may also try "asterisk" and "exclamation" as potential candidates for your fix
