@Audre575 Perhaps you have "Provide feedback with sound" enabled. Switch it off. In my version it's located under Options, Accessibility. Other version may refer to it as "Ease of access".
In the Sounds tab of the Sound control panel in Windows, scroll down until you see the Exclamation sound. Set it to None.
If you want to turn off ALL sounds, including the beep you get when an error occurs, select 'No Sounds' from the 'Sound Scheme' dropdown.
Alternatively, scroll through the list of Program Events. Any event that has a sound assigned to it is displayed with a loudspeaker icon. If you want to disable it, select that program event and select (None) from the Sounds dropdown (it is right at the top of the dropdown list).
Don't forget to click OK when you're done.
That is the "Speak Cells" feature.
Option 1:
- Click the drop-down button on the right hand side of the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT).
- Select 'More Commands...'
- Select 'Commands Not in the Ribbon' from the 'Choose commands from' drop-down.
- Scroll down the list of commands until you see the 'Stop Speaking' command.
- Select it, then click 'Add >>'.
- If you wish, you can also add the 'Speak Cells...' command if you want to turn it on again later.
- Click OK.
- You now have one or two new buttons on the QAT: on to turn Speak Cells off, and perhaps also one to turn it on.
Option 2:
- Press Alt+F11 to activate the Visual Basic Editor.
- Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window.
- Type or copy/paste the following line into the Immediate window:
Application.Speech.SpeakCellOnEnter = False- With the insertion point anywhere in that line, press Enter.
- Close the Visual Basic Editor.
- Speak on Enter should now be disabled.
@HansVogelaar I did everything on the list but I'm still getting sounds when I've copied text and then close the window. I'm copying from many files into one file and this is driving me insane.
