    How to turn off sound in Excel?


    I want to turn off sounds when I do things like entering data into or right-clicking a cell in Excel (Windows 10 v. 1909, Office 16). In Excel Options, under "Ease of Access" I turned off "Provide feedback with sound". Didn't help. Under Windows > Settings > "Notifications & actions" I turned off "Get notifications from apps and other senders". Didn't help. How can I turn off sound in Excel?

    I haven't tried it yet in your version but for decades I've simply found the .wav files for specific apps and renamed the offending file with an X somewhere in the file name.

    The sound that constantly plays is the "Default Beep". If I disable that, then I'll get no sounds in situations where I *do* want sound feedback.

    Though I've not tried to alter sounds in Excel I can say all the programs whose sounds I've altered, including Windows, have allowed me to select sounds to match circumstances. I can only suggest you poke around to see you can make such modifications. Good luck.

    Turn sound effects on or off with the keyboard

    • Navigate to the File menu, then press Alt, F, T to select Options.
    • In the Options window, use the arrow keys to highlight Ease of Access.
    • Press Tab to move to the Provide feedback with sound checkbox, then press Enter to select or clear the checkbox.

    As I said in my original posting, I have "Provide feedback with sound" turned off (unchecked), but I still get sounds, specifically when I right-click a cell.
