How to turn off Chimes in Microsoft Access

Ready to get rid of those annoying chimes . . . 

Open your Access database.

Go to File > Options. This will open the Access Options dialog box.

In the Access Options dialog box, click on the "Client Settings" tab. You'll find this on the left-hand side of the window.

Scroll down to the "General" section.
Look for the setting labeled "Provide feedback with sound."

Uncheck the box next to "Provide feedback with sound." This will disable most of the built-in sound effects in Access.

Click "OK" to save your changes.

Here's what actually worked for me . . .

Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > 

Change system sounds > Windows > Exclamation > None
