Continuous Default Beeping on Windows 11
Dear Esteemed Team,
I have been consistently hearing a default beep sound, and I prefer not to disable it as it may indicate a serious issue on my system that needs to be addressed.
I have already executed the commands below without uncovering any issues:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
I kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter.
Details of my system:
- Edition: Windows 11 Pro
- Version: 21H2
- Installation Date: 09/11/2021
- OS Build: 22000.318
- Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.318.0
Thank you for your prompt attention and support.

Hi,
Is it coming your speakers or from the small speakers which is used by the bios to beeeeep ?I guess you already checked the Windows Volume mixer ?
For audio, there are no perf counters, some events are logged here in event viewer Microsoft-Windows-Audio/Informational, and this is not obvious, but one value is a PID of an app playing audio.
Otherwise, this PowerShell may be the easiest way:
Install-Module AudioDeviceCmdlets Import-Module AudioDeviceCmdlets $pl = Get-AudioDevice -Playback $s = $pl.Device.AudioSessionManager (0..$s.Sessions.Count) | % { st.Sessions.Item($_) }
It will show all apps that have been "in the session" (don't precisely know the details) like this entry:
AudioMeterInformation : CoreAudioApi.AudioMeterInformation SimpleAudioVolume : CoreAudioApi.SimpleAudioVolume State : AudioSessionStateActive DisplayName : Spotify IconPath : SessionIdentifier : {0.0.0.00000000}.{825b59a5-e621-4089-9df2-4af7a551d384}|\Device\HarddiskVolume3\Program Files\WindowsApps\SpotifyAB.SpotifyMusic_1.243.420.0_x64__zpdnekdrzrea0\Spotify.exe%b{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} SessionInstanceIdentifier : {0.0.0.00000000}.{825b59a5-e621-4089-9df2-4af7a551d384}|\Device\HarddiskVolume3\Program Files\WindowsApps\SpotifyAB.SpotifyMusic_1.243.420.0_x64__zpdnekdrzrea0\Spotify.exe%b{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}|1%b6196 ProcessID : 6196 IsSystemIsSystemSoundsSession : False
There are a lot of other ways. But none are easy to explain in a few words... 😉
