How to prevent Eclipse from making sounds

You'll probably consider this as a stupid question, but here goes:

When I'm using Eclipse's Find (within an editor page) and whenever eclipse reaches the end of the document it 'dings'. I want to control that '开发者_运维百科ding' in some way - change its sound, volume or better yet - prevent it altogether.

I couldn't find a way to do it in the Preferences screen. Any idea?

If you use Windows 7, you can decide the sound volume per application. Just leave your Eclipse open, check the sound volume within your system tray and mute Eclipse.

AFAIK there is no such preference in Eclipse. In fact, in Ubuntu there is no sound in either situation.

You will have to prevent the sound from within Windows.

This is one way to kill the 'ding' (it even works for all your applications!):

1. Go to the Windows "Control Panel" -> "Sounds and Audio Devices"
2. Select Tab "Sounds"
3. Select Program event "Default Beep"
4. Change the sound to "(None)"
5. Click on the Apply button and enjoy the silence

In windows 10 go to Settings -> Sound -> App volume device preferences -> tune the System sounds.
