Stop the loud beeping?

1

Every time my computer freezes, if I click or scroll or otherwise interact, it beeps so loudly my ears actually hurt. If I have earbuds plugged in, it'll beep so loudly that people two rooms over will ask what the beeping noise was.

How can I disable this feature/bug? My ears just can't take the abuse!

It's ringing the pc speaker.

You can disable the system "beep" noise by going into the Device Manager, unhiding hidden devices, finding the "Beep" and then disabling it.

HowToGeek has a nice guide on how to do it: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/turn-off-the-annoying-windows-xp-system-beeps/
