Why Does Windows 10 Keep Making Sounds?
Contents

Windows 10 has a feature that provides notifications for different apps called “Toast Notifications.” The notifications slide out in the lower-right corner of the screen above the taskbar and are accompanied by a chime.

Why does my computer keep chiming?

More often than not, the chime sound plays when a peripheral device is connected or disconnected from your computer. A malfunctioning or incompatible keyboard or mouse, for example, or any device that turns itself on and off, can cause your computer to play the chime sound.

How do I turn off the annoying sound in Windows 10?

How to disable sound for notifications using Control Panel

  1. Open Control Panel.
  2. Click on Hardware and sound.
  3. Click the Change system sounds link.
  4. Under “Windows,” scroll and select Notifications.
  5. On the “Sounds,” drop-down menu, select (None).
  6. Click Apply.
  7. Click OK.
