How do I disable sounds?
Greetings, I do not want any sounds from Excel. How do I turn them all off?

hi Hans, thank you very much. The last piece of advice eliminated the sound when I close an Outlook message. For that, I thank you very much. I still get a sound here and there....Is there anything else I can disable? Audre

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.

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.

You must have left something on.

How do you make it stop on a MAC? The sounds in all the Office 365 programs are ANNOYING!
