Unwanted Sounds

E

Ed O'Brien

Flightless Bird
Windows Vista Home Premium. IE7. Office 2007

Peculiar sounds annoy me so I have set 'Sounds' to virtually nil using
Control Panel/Sounds and disabling all the Windows boings and beeps and
saved the setting as "My own".

However, I keep getting the odd boing, burp and beep, such as when closing a
programme after pasting something and closing E7.

Is there somewhere else I should look to stop these irritants?

TIA or any help.

Hi,
Look at programs (security, privacy, etc) which load at startup and run in
the background. Look in the System Tray for these programs and run MSCONFIG
((Start > Run> (type in) msconfig)) > Startup tab. Check these programs for
options to make a sound when a particular action occurs.

Hope this helps,
Don

Thanks, Don.

I have set Startup for just a small hand-full of programmes, none of which
make a sound. I also tested each sound in "Sound" to find the most
irritating 'boing' and searched for *.wav and checked out all of those -
nearly 1,000 - also without finding the culprits!

Any other suggestions will be gratefully accepted.

Ed

You can use the Sysinternals utility Process Monitor to try and track down
the process that is emitting the sound.

Sorry to be so long coming back, Donald.

I have downloaded Process Monitor and at 64% and around 500,000 entries into
it it looks like being another half hour to run. I really want to get rid of
these noises, but frankly, how am I to locate a noise? How would you appoach
it?

If you have a certain set of sequences that produces the unknown sound on
your machine, then start Process Monitor and go through that sequence.

Once you've produced the sound, then stop capturing in Process Monitor by
hitting CTRL + E and it will stop capturing events.

Then use the search function in Process Monitor(Edit||Find) to search for
any reference the .wav file in the captured events.

Good luck,

Donald Anadell

Well, Donald, I tried all processes several times, including purposely
creating a sound but found no reference to a .wav file. I tried searching
*.wav. in all processes and got no results in any. I guess individual sound
files are not logged as such. Using Clipmate I found the file and the usual
reference, \blobtxt.idx : \blobblob.idx : \blobblob.blb, which are the
storing of data, yet nowhere does it refer to the "bop!" one gets when
copying.

Any suggestions?

Ed

Don't use the wild card(*) in you search criteria, just search for .wav
only.

Ed O'Brien

Flightless Bird
Hi, Donald.

Running Pocess Manager only found one file in Sysem32.

Having now checked out every .wav file I can find - about 1,000 - I have
still not found the culprits. Describing a noise is a bit like trying to
describe a colour but the annoying noise is a bit like a warship's horn but
sinking as apposed to rising. eeeeeeeeeYum!!

Do you know of any other file extension Windows, or Office, for that matter,
uses to liven things up?

Ed

If the sound is being generated by the Windows Operating System is could
show up in Process Manager under several different processes depending on
how the sound is being generated. Such processes as, winlogon.exe,
Rundll32.exe, wmplayer.exe...etc.

For example if you set the wave file "Windows XP Default.wav" as the default
sound for "Close Program" in the Control Panel, and then close a program
while running Process Manager, you would see an entry in Process Manager
like this:

[winlogon.exe QueryOpen C:/WINDOWS\Media\Windows XP Default.wav SUCCESS]

If you simply double clicked on that file "Windows XP Default.wav" to open
it up in Windows Media Player, you would see an entry in Process Manager
that looked like this:

[wmplayer.exe ReadFile C:/WINDOWS\Media\Windows XP Default.wav SUCCESS]

Notice that in both examples Process Manager shows the Process Name that is
executing the sound file, and lists the Path to the wave file that is being
executed.

Sorry I don't have anything else to offer with regard to this issue.
