Windows Terminal - Mute Bell Sound

 

Problem:

Windows Terminal has this super annoying bell sound when certain keys in the terminal window are pressed. It's more so if you tap the directional key down when there's nowhere to go....however it goes "Ding!" and if your volume is jacked, it can be quite annoying.

We're going to mute it for all profiles. There's no need to have it.

Fix:

To disable the bell sound in Windows Terminal and see a visual indicator instead, follow these steps:

1. Open Windows Terminal.

2. Right-click on the title bar and select Settings.

3. In the bottom-left corner of the Settings window, click on Open JSON file.

4. Locate the "profiles" section, then find "defaults". Inside the curly braces {} of "defaults", add the line. Make sure to add a comma after "bellStyle": "none" if it's not the last entry in the "defaults" section.

5. Save the JSON file. You shouldn't see any errors in the Settings panel now.
