It’s like an Ice Pick in my Brain (disable the system beep on a VM)

The horrible, horrible system beep is an artifact of an ancient time when computers were too much like R2-D2, communicating in a series of beeps and whistles only understood by hammy 70’s actors.

Today, to get rid of the wretched beep you have to disable the BEEP service. Pretty simple.

1 sc config BEEP start= disabled
2 net stop BEEP

I can’t take credit for this, I found the solution here Disable the Beep in a Virtual Machine on Virtual Server.
